Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Hike along Amazon trails in search of monkeys, parrots, otters and caimans and stay in a tranquil jungle lodge for two nights.
Meet the local artisans, farmers and townsfolk of the Sacred Valley – not forgetting the cute alpacas and llamas.
Be mesmerised by the mother of all Inca cities, the mysterious Machu Picchu, where you'll enjoy a guided tour.
With the help of a resident musician, make your own zampona – a traditional panpipe instrument – and learn how to play it like a local.
Cusco has something for everyone, making it perfect for a family visit. A boleto touristico pass grants you access to the best sights in town.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip visits places that are at high altitude, and as a result some people can suffer from altitude sickness, regardless of age or physical health. Please see the Medical and health information section of the Essential Trip Information for more detail.
According to Machu Picchu visiting regulations all visitors to Machu Picchu must follow a pre-determined circuit within the site as a way to relieve crowding. The circuit-based entrance tickets are available on a first come first serve basis. We will do all that is possible to get everyone traveling in a group on the same route, but be aware that it is possible that members of the same group might be visiting Machu Picchu on a different circuit and not be together during this visit. Once the guided visit concludes, visitors must exit the site and personal exploration of Machu Picchu is not permitted.
Temperatures in the Amazon can fluctuate from daytime humidity to night-time chill. Insects, especially mosquitoes, are common. We recommend tropical-strength insect repellent and light cotton clothing that covers your arms and legs, with warmer layers for the evening.
Itinerary
Explore Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Amazon Jungle on a family adventure
Get set for a nine-day family adventure that combines the wonders of the Amazon Jungle with the fascinating history of Machu Picchu.

Head into the Sacred Valley, stopping in at a local community to learn about textile techniques (and for a photo op or two with some llamas). Then reach the dazzling peaks of Machu Picchu, taking a guided tour to learn about the ‘Lost City of the Inca’. Peru’s is sure to leave an impression on the whole family!

The 9 day Perú Family Holiday was exceptional. It exceeded my expectations! My 5 year old son and I had a wonderful experience largely as a result of our excellent group leader, Hernan and our fellow travellers. The activities and itinerary were well suited to families.

We had an exceptional time on our Peruvian Family Holiday - Julio was an exceptional guide taking great care off my family’s well being. Everything was immaculately organized. All food, accommodation and excursions were spot on - we will be doing another Intrepid trip next year - we are now officially fans!

An incredible itinerary that highlighted the diversity of Peru in a relatively short trip. We were so grateful to be on a Family Tour with a guide who was experienced in keeping kids engaged - and to be with other families who knew the flexibility needed for successful family touring.

Peru is a magical country. This family trip allowed us to experience the extraordinary Inca sites, diverse natural beauty and charming towns and cities of Peru while taking out the stress of holiday planning and logistics. Our guide, Hernan was a passionate Peruvian and highly experienced guide who made the trip particularly memorable. Our family loved our time in Peru and would highly recommend this trip.
