A Private Family Tour of Peru

Head out on a cycling trip along the seafront in Lima. The beaches are located just below the towering cliffs of Miraflores, Barranco, and San Isidro. You’ll get an up-close look at all of Lima’s shores and the uniqueness of its coastline.

Visit one of the most iconic and picturesque markets in Lima where you’ll be able to see, taste and purchase the most popular ingredients used in Peruvian cuisine. Then learn how to prepare a few iconic Peruvian dishes under the watchful eye of a professional chef.

Explore the fascinating (and beautiful) sites of Maras and Moray on a cycling tour. Maras is an open system of terraces that has been used for centuries to harvest salt from a stream of mineral rich water that comes from within the mountain. Moray is an ancient system of Inca terraces which they used to acclimatise new plants to the high altitude environment.

Enjoy a visit to the Patacancha community, meeting some of the people who live here and learning about their way of life. Many villages in the valley have upheld their customs and heritage, tracing their lineage back to the time of the Incas. On this tour, you’ll get to discover more about their traditions, farming, cuisine, crafting, language and traditional clothing.

In the early morning, head to Chinchero, where the Piuray Lagoon is located. This beautiful lagoon offers spectacular views, perfect flat water and plenty of bird species to observe. Once in the water you will get acquainted with balancing, paddling, and making turns. The lagoon offers ideal conditions for kayaking as there will be no wind, currents or waves. Depending on your abilities, you will paddle approximately four kilometres.

Get ready to explore Cusco and its cobblestone streets with a treasure hunt that takes you to some of the most famous sights and challenges the entire family to get a deeper understanding of the city, its people and incredible history. Your guide will provide you with a map, a budget for purchases and a list of challenges that will need to be completed within a specific time frame. Each challenge will bring you to different sights or places in Cusco and may involve finding a specific location on the city map, communicating with the locals in Spanish (or Quechua), or solving a trick question about Cusco’s history to get to the next location.

Head to the ChocoMuseo to learn about the history of cacao and its production but also about the role it plays for the city and Peru. Enjoy a workshop that includes the preparation and tasting of your own chocolate. Definitely a fun experience for kids!
