Festive Peruvian family adventure!

Apus Peru > Family Travel > Festive Peruvian family adventure!

We would like to share a review with you and a little anecdote from one of our clients while travelling with us on their Peruvian family adventure tour, Christmas 2014. We helped plan their bespoke ‘child friendly’ itinerary in which they spent time on the beach in Lima, went hiking in Chaullacocha, visited Maras Moray and Salineras, the Chichubamba Community project, onwards to Machu Picchu and last but not least discovered the Amazon jungle! Unfortunately, the children got a little sick whilst in Cusco but soon recovered and were able to complete their adventure…

On the way to Chaullacocha

“I have been meaning to write to you and thank you once more for all your hard work that contributed to making the trip such a memorable adventure. I particularly appreciate your flexibility when things didn’t go according to plan (all part of the adventure).

Village of Chaullacocha

The trek to the village was a highlight for everyone (even though we had to truncate it), and it made a huge impact on the kids. In particular, we have to thank Jose (our guide): when I asked what the villager ate, he replied “Potatoes”. “And with potatoes?”. “Potatoes with potatoes”. Now the kids don’t complain about dinner!

Here’s a lovely foto provided by the family of the girls in their Apus T-shirts enjoying the sunshine in Lima. Thank you to the Veitch family, for your comments and anecdote, wishing you happy future travels! From all the team at Apus Peru!

  • 🏔️ Lares Trek to Machu Picchu

Looking for a more off-the-beaten-path way to reach Machu Picchu? The Lares Trek takes you through remote Andean valleys, high mountain passes, traditional Quechua communities, and breathtaking landscapes.

What makes this trek so special is the connection with local life. Along the way, you’ll encounter communities where traditional weaving, farming, and Andean culture are still part of everyday life.

After days of trekking through the mountains, the journey continues toward the ultimate highlight: Machu Picchu. A beautiful combination of adventure, culture, and unforgettable scenery. 🇵🇪✨

  • The people who make our journeys possible are often the ones we see the least.

They carry the equipment, prepare the meals and work behind the scenes so thousands of travellers can experience the Inca Trail.

The recent death of porter Gabriel Ríos Mamani is a tragic reminder that we need to pay more attention to the working conditions of the people at the heart of tourism.

Choosing a responsible company is about more than a beautiful itinerary or a good price. It means asking who is behind the experience and whether they are treated with the respect, support and protection they deserve.

Travel can have a positive impact – but only if we care about the people who make it possible. #apusperu #responsibletravel
