How to Plan a Peru Family Vacation

Whether you want to cross Machu Picchu off your family’s travel bucket list, or you long to explore the magnificent geological features of Rainbow Mountain near Cusco, Peru represents the perfect spot for a multi-generational family vacation. We’ve been wanting to visit Peru for awhile and have always appreciated Our Whole Village‘s philosophy and itineraries. Our Whole Village (OWV) is a family-focused travel agency that designs meaningful and culturally-immersive trips for families who want to create lasting memories, travel more consciously and give back. Covid might have put our Peru travel plans on hold, but I asked OWV to put together this Peru guide, including their favorite activities and accommodations.

Why take a Peru Multigenerational Family Vacation?

Peru contains stunning natural beauty, from high-elevation lakes to remote deserts and prime Amazon rainforest. Its rich and varied history means there are archaeological treasures from civilizations as diverse as the Norte Chico, Wari, Nazca, and Inca scattered across the land. From the colonial charm of Cusco to the ancient splendor of Sacsayhuaman, the iconic llamas and alpacas of the Sacred Valley to the lush rainforests of Puerto Maldonado, there’s something for every age and interest in Peru. What’s more, the “Land of the Incas” boasts some of the best food in the world, founded in agricultural practices left unchanged for more than 2,000 years.
