Peru package
Family Machu Picchu Comfort
9 days, from $2,150 per traveler
Peru at a family pace: the same highlights, with a lower physical load, comfort hotels, and a plan built around the realities of travelling with kids or grandparents. The hard parts are smoothed out so the trip stays fun for everyone, not just the fittest person in the group.
Right for / not right for
Right for
- Families with children or multiple generations
- Groups that want the highlights without a punishing pace
- Travellers who value comfort hotels and built-in rest
Not right for
- Travellers whose main goal is a demanding trek
- Anyone wanting the lowest-cost, no-frills option
- Groups happy to move fast and skip the rest days

Machu Picchu access
Circuit 2 (Classic)

Highland Adventures plans complete Peru trips around the right Machu Picchu access. We do not sell standalone tickets.
Where you stay

Straight talk
A family trip lives or dies on pacing, not on cramming in sights. We deliberately leave slack in the plan. If you want a packed itinerary, this is not the trip, and that is on purpose.
Common questions
- What ages does this suit?
- It works well across ages, from younger children to grandparents. Tell us who is coming and we will tune the pace and the rooms.
- Is the altitude safe for kids and older travellers?
- We plan acclimatisation carefully and keep early days gentle. Please share any medical considerations so we can plan around them; we do not give medical advice.
- Can we slow it down further?
- Yes. Extra rest days or a lighter Machu Picchu day are easy to build in.
