About the trip

This family-friendly small-group tour by G Adventures begins in Lima with a welcome meeting before heading to the Sacred Valley. Here, village markets swirl with colours, and visits to a women’s weaving cooperative and a community-run restaurant provide hands-on insight into Andean traditions. From Ollantaytambo, a train climbs high into the Andes, carrying the group into the cloud forest that cloaks Machu Picchu. The itinerary includes a guided tour of the ancient Inca ruins and some time at the Machu Picchu Museum, where a slouching llama might glance sideways at visitors.

Next comes a change in scenery and pace as the journey continues with a three-day stay at an Amazon rainforest eco-lodge. Trails reveal monkeys, sloths, butterflies and toucans amid the jungle’s lively canopy. The Cusco Planetarium offers another kind of adventure, mapping the Southern Hemisphere constellations. With all transport and local flights included, the trip covers diverse Peruvian landscapes and cultural corners, including community-focused stops in Ccaccaccollo and Lamay without glossing over early starts and the fast itinerary pace.
