LUXURY PERU HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

South America is great for families, but Peru stands out with its wonderful mixture of adventure, wildlife and culture, keeping children of all ages entertained.

In our Peru Family Adventure itinerary, we have focused on Peru’s southern wonders and included some of the famous attractions around the Inca capital of Cusco. We know that children get bored easily though, so we have included unusual and exciting ways to experience the country and avoided too much time on planes, in vehicles or in museums.

Whilst away you will hike the one-day Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, bike through the local villages and markets of the Sacred Valley and white-water raft on one of South America’s most pristine and exhilarating rivers. Explore the ancient Inca capital of Cusco, but rather than walking around churches and cathedral, you will learn the significance of the colourful Pucara bull and visit the city’s chocolate café.

Looked after by expert guides and staying in some beautiful boutique properties, the Peru Family Adventure has been designed to keep everyone entertained and is a great introduction to the wonders of South America.

“THREE HOLIDAYS IN AND STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEDED”
Dan Mills organised perfectly a challenging itinerary to incorporate a wedding we were attending in Kathmandu. A fantastic balance of trekking, rafting, safari, sightseeing and R&R. This was our third holiday with Ultimate Travel and we cannot recommend highly enough

“TAILORED TO PERFECTION”
Our holiday in Thailand was superb – custom-built exactly to our preferences. The Ultimate Travel Company were super attentive, listening carefully to what we wanted and designing an itinerary and hotel selection that really delivered. Even while we were away, they responded quickly to a query. A brilliant experience from start to finish.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”
Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.
