    Hike along Peru's famous Inca trails

    Experience Inca history, stunning Andean landscapes and contemporary Peruvian culture

    Our bespoke, privately guided Peru family tours will take you on an incredible journey through some of South America’s most breathtaking scenery. 

    Getting to grips with the fascinating Inca Empire is a likely highlight of any family trip to Peru, as our specialist, knowledgeable guides bring to life the incredible details of this ancient civilisation. Of course, when it comes to understanding the Incan way of life, the mighty Machu Picchu citadel is a tremendous example of their architecture, in a jaw-dropping location, high in the cloud forests, shrouded by mist. 

    The experience of visiting Machu Picchu is made even more special by a luxury train journey from the Sacred Valley or Cusco. These two cultural hubs are packed with family-friendly experiences, such as cooking classes, mountain biking and white water rafting on the Urubamba River – and there are many more ancient ruins to discover too.

    You can also explore the depths of the Amazon rainforest while staying in a luxury lodge complete with canopy walks, lookout towers and nighttime nature hikes. Then there are high Andean explorations with boat trips to floating reed islands at Lake Titicaca and chances to watch soaring condors at the Colca Canyon. And of course the capital, Lima with city tours, engaging museums and market visits.

    Our Peru travel designers have years of experience in crafting tailor-made Peru family trips. They will get to know your family and help put together a completely bespoke and personalised itinerary. This will be based entirely on your interests, preferences and time, and will include the best experiences and superb service every step of the way.

    Peru is a fantastic family destination, there’s so much to do and see and it's simple and easy to move around, which I can testify to having taken my own family to visit many times. Our guides in Peru are incredible, they can tailor tours and excursions to suit all ages. The ancient Incan history is really captivating for children (and adults). Peru is definitely an unforgettable and magical destination.

    When to visit

    Peru is very much a year-round destination. We suggest avoiding the peak of the rainy season, which is February. Visitors in May through to September will enjoy the dry winter season, which is the best time to visit Machu Picchu and enjoy some of the incredible treks Peru has to offer.
