about this tour
This action-packed family tour of Peru begins in Lima, the country’s coastal capital. Start by exploring its historic center, home to grand colonial architecture, lively public squares, and local markets where you can try traditional treats and pick up a few souvenirs. From Lima, travel to the Sacred Valley, a scenic region surrounded by mountains and dotted with archaeological sites. Visit the ancient Pisac ruins, see the striking circular terraces of Moray, and learn how salt has been harvested for centuries at the Maras salt mines. In the village of Patacancha, take part in a hands-on weaving workshop with local artisans who demonstrate age-old techniques passed down through generations. The journey continues in Ollantaytambo, where adventure awaits on the Urubamba River with a thrilling white-water rafting experience suitable for older children. Afterward, tour the well-preserved Inca fortress and browse the town’s market. Then it’s time for the highlight of the trip—Machu Picchu. Set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, this ancient site offers plenty to discover and is sure to leave a lasting impression. The trip winds down in Cusco, where the pace slows and families can enjoy activities like crafting their own ice cream flavors and painting traditional ceramic bulls. This well-balanced itinerary offers memorable experiences at every turn, combining cultural learning with outdoor fun in a way that keeps everyone engaged.

CERAMIC BULL PAINTING Try your hand at painting a Torito de Pucará, the iconic ceramic bull from the Andean highlands. With step-by-step guidance from a local artisan, you'll learn the decorative techniques passed down through generations. As you create your own design, the story behind each pattern and color begins to unfold. This hands-on experience is more than just artistic, it's a chance to connect with local traditions in a meaningful way. You’ll leave with a personalized keepsake that holds the memory of your time in the Andes.

Magical Machu PicchuStart your journey to Machu Picchu early to arrive as the National Park opens, offering a chance to see the morning clouds lift from the ruins—one of the most atmospheric times to visit. Your private guide will take you to the Guard Shack, the best vantage point to watch the sun rise over the surrounding mountains and illuminate this world-famous site. You'll then enjoy an in-depth guided tour covering the history, surrounding areas, and the sacred legends of Machu Picchu. For those looking for an additional challenge, a hike up Machu Picchu Mountain offers breathtaking views of the ancient citadel from above. The ascent takes about two hours, with the descent taking roughly one hour. After your visit, begin your journey to Cusco, traveling on the Hiram Bingham train from Aguas Calientes through the dramatic landscapes of the Sacred Valley. Having spent the last few days adjusting to higher elevations, Cusco’s altitude (11,150 ft. above sea level) should now feel comfortable, allowing you to explore the town in the evening or simply relax at your hotel.

Cusco: Market & RuinsBegin your day in Cusco at the local market, where you can experience daily life and explore an array of fresh vegetables, breads, and fruits, including the traditional Oropeza bread. The market also offers herbs used for centuries in traditional medicine and cocoa beans, the foundation of chocolate production. Next, visit Cusco’s impressive Colonial Cathedral, home to over 400 paintings from the Cusqueña School and beautifully crafted altars. From there, head to Koricancha, the religious center of the Inca Empire, where the Temple of the Sun once stood in honor of Inti, the Sun god. The name Koricancha comes from the Quechua words "qori," meaning goldwork, and "kancha," meaning enclosed space. Continue to the artisan quarter of San Blas, known for its local workshops where artisans create religious paintings and intricate crafts. Then, explore Cusco’s nearby archaeological sites, starting with Sacsayhuaman, a remarkable stone fortress once known as the Royal House of the Sun. Visit Qenqo Amphitheater, an important Incan temple, and Tambomachay, an ancient sanctuary dedicated to water and reserved for Inca royalty. Its name comes from the Quechua words "tampu" (collective housing) and "machay" (resting place). Finally, pass by Puka Pukara, or "Reddish Fortress," named for the distinctive color of the soil in the area.

FAQs
1. Can we swim with sea lions from Lima on this Peru family tour?
Yes. From Lima you take a boat to nearby islands where sea lions gather. Your family can watch them from the boat and, when conditions allow, join a supervised swim in the water close by, with guides on hand and life jackets provided.
2. What are the rafting activities on the Urubamba River for families?
You raft a section of the Urubamba near Ollantaytambo that is chosen for families. Everyone is given safety gear, clear instructions, and a seat in a guided raft. Older children can enjoy gentle rapids while adults share the same boat so the experience stays safe and fun.
3. What are the activities at the weaving visit in Patacancha?
In Patacancha, local weavers show how wool is washed, spun, dyed with natural colors, and woven into textiles. Children and adults can try simple steps on the loom and see how patterns link to local stories, the mountains, and daily community life.
4. What are the food activities like at the chocolate museum and ice cream making?
In Cusco, your family visits a chocolate museum to follow cacao from bean to bar, ending with a tasting of different chocolates. In a separate ice cream session, everyone chooses flavors and mixes in local ingredients, then makes a small batch of their own ice cream.
5. What do we do at the Maras salt mines and with the ceramic bulls?
At Maras, you walk along paths above hundreds of salt pools that have been used since Inca times and watch how salt is collected today. Later in Cusco, you paint your own ceramic bulls, the small figures often seen on Andean rooftops, creating a simple keepsake tied to local tradition.
