The agreed time flight
from Lima to Cusco – Private Car to the Sacred Valley
After a
restful night spent catching up on sleep and a complimentary buffet breakfast
in the hotel, we’ll bring your family direct to the airport for the morning
flight to Cusco. It’s just a short trip, and the kids will be kept entertained
by the dizzying views of the Andes out the plane window.
Upon
touch down in Cusco, we’ll bring you out for a tasty lunch, before taking you
to the Sacred Valley, where the lower altitudes make it easier to acclimatize.
On the way out there, we’ll break up the 45-minute journey with a pit stop at
the Awana Kancha Living Museum. Youngsters will love watching the masterly
weavers here at work and petting the cute and cuddly llamas and alpacas.
Before

silhouette of the Andes frames the picture. We’ll drop you off at your hotel
for the evening.

Kuoda guide and driver at your disposal. So if you want to stop for a family
photo or just to give the kids some time to breathe in the fresh air, just say
the word.
DAY 3: Past and present in the Sacred
Valley
Private Tour of Pisac’s
Inca Ruins and Pottery Classes and Fun Family Dinner
Today
you’ll continue your family tour to Peru with a private excursion around the
Sacred Valley, during which you’ll get to see how Peru’s long history still
manifests itself not only in its Inca ruins but also in modern-day living here.
For
starters, we’ll head to the Peruvian village of Pisac, where you and your kids
can hike up to the incredible Inca ruins perched loftily on a ridge overlooking
the colonial-era town. From this elevated position just beneath the clouds, you
can gaze down upon the still-farmed agricultural terraces where the Incas themselves
once toiled, cultivating corn and developing thousands of varieties of potato.
Next, descend to the village to wander about its lively artisan market, where
everything from handmade textiles to well-crafted ceramics, are sold.
We know that
children don’t just like to look, but to touch as well, which is why we arrange
for interactive, hands-on activities as part of our Peru family tours. In the
afternoon, you’ll take part in a pottery workshop in the town of Urubamba,
where you will learn about the ceramics traditions of Peru and make your own
ceramic piece. That evening, you’ll dine at a fun, buzzy local restaurant where
you’ll get to see traditional dances and costumes as well as listen to
traditional music.
DAY 4: The Lost City of the Incas:
Machu Picchu
Today, you and your family will conquer that most famous of New World Wonders: Machu Picchu. You’ll ride the train from Ollantaytambo, watching the cloud forest flit by the large windows, installation in the chosen hotel. After we settle in the hotel we will be able to go out to do a reconnaissance of the small town of Aguas Calientes and we will go to relax in the hot springs that surely this activity will enchant the children.
Your luxury tour of Machu Picchu continues after
lunch as you and your family enter the sight. No matter how many pictures or
videos you’ve studied, seeing the astonishing Inca stone constructions in
person still somehow manages to have an almost visceral impact – surpassing all
expectations. Your well-informed guide will take you on a private tour of the
cloud-level citadel, explaining what’s known about the history behind this
mysterious ancient city.
Return to
Aguas Calientes that evening. Tomorrow will be at your leisure, so be sure to
ask your guide for recommendations on what to do in the area before you go your
separate ways.
DAY 5: Machu Picchu on Your Terms
Your luxury tour of Machu Picchu starts very early, where we will take the bus
your
family enter the sight. No matter how many pictures or videos you’ve studied,
seeing the astonishing Inca stone constructions in person still somehow manages
to have an almost visceral impact – surpassing all expectations. Your
well-informed guide will take you on a private tour of the cloud-level citadel,
explaining what’s known about the history behind this mysterious ancient city.
That
afternoon, make your way back down to Aguas Calientes to catch the train back
to Cusco. When the train pulls into the station in Cusco, we will be waiting to
bring you to your hotel.
DAY 6: Exploring the Imperial City of Cusco
Private Tour of Cusco
and the Inca Ruins Surrounding the City
Meet your
guide post-breakfast for a private tour of Cusco, a captivating city caught
between old-world heritage and modern-day dynamism. Few travelers can resists
falling head over heels for its charms. A walk here yields all manner of
delights, from the Santo Domingo monastery, which sits atop an Inca temple that
was once among the finest in the empire to the grand, warm-hued colonial
cathedrals of Cusco’s central square, Plaza de Armas.
Next,
venture into the Peruvian countryside and let the kids loose on yet another
ancient site. Wander among the archaeological remains of Sacsayhuamán, where
the Incas staged a great battle against the conquistadors. While here, you’ll
see the vestiges of the temple and amphitheater of Q’enko, as well as the
once-magnificent red fortress of Puca Pucara.
Finish
the day with an activity that’s bound to please the youngsters (and any
chocolate-loving adults among you!) by taking part in a chocolate-making
workshop at the ChocoMuseo in Cusco. You’ll learn about the history of
chocolate and about the production processes, from bean all the way to bar.
Witness each chocolate-making step and take your pick from a variety of
chocolate-friendly fillings to add to your personalized concoction, before
taking your tempting chocolate treats home to the hotel. Things always taste
better when you’ve made them yourself, of course, but remember, don’t eat them
all at once!
DAY 7: Return to Lima / Thrilling light and water
Fly From Cusco to Lima.
An Evening Visit to Lima’s Parque de la Reserva
This
morning, we’ll take you to Cusco airport for your morning flight to Lima, the
next destination during your Peru family travel adventure. As you fly through
the skies, remember to steal the odd glance out the window to see the
snow-dusted Andes give way to the coastal desert of the north west. In the
evening, change into something you don’t mind getting wet as you’ll be heading
to Lima’s “Magical Water Circuit”. Set in a city park, this fountain display is
a surefire hit for families. Not only are the choreographed light, water and
sound displays a marvel to behold, but many of the fountains are interactive –
meaning you might find yourself playing among them and even running away from
them. One thing is for sure, you should prepare to get wet!
