A Family Peruvian Adventure

DAY 1 International Flight

Your flight to Lima will leave London at lunchtime and will touch down just in Lima in the early evening. It's nearly 13 hours on a plane, though, so make sure to have the children's Sharky & George fun packs and fully charged iPads at the ready. After you've cleared customs and collected your bags, you'll be met by one of our team on the ground who will whisk you away to your hotel.

As we reckon you'll all be pretty pooped by this point, we've booked you a table in the hotel restaurant for a quick dinner before an early night.

DAY 2 Cusco

Your one-and-a-half-hour flight to Cusco is this morning, so after breakfast you will be taken to the airport by private transfer. After you've collected your bags in Cusco, your guide will meet you for the 90-minute journey to your hotel in the Sacred Valley - although there are so many beautiful vistas on the journey that it may be much longer to accommodate all of your photo stops. After checking in, you'll have some lunch and then visit a local master potter. Here the family will have the opportunity to make authentic pieces of Peruvian pottery under the watchful eye of your tutor. Post pottery masterclass, you'll be taken back to your hotel for dinner and, we imagine, an early night.

DAY 3 Machu Picchu

Today is the big one. After an early breakfast, you'll be transferred to the train station at Ollantaytambo where you'll catch the train to the village of Machu Picchu, here you'll be met by an expert local guide who will accompany you on the final leg of the journey to the spectacular 'lost city' - a bus ride to the Sun Gate. After a quick packed lunch your guide will take you around the ancient Incan site, away from the crowds to the quieter spots where you can learn all about the history of the site. Your guide will tell you just how the Incas managed to build with such precision and such beauty, talk you through the horrible history of altars used for human sacrifices and temples carved in the shape of condors through to stones used to harness the sun. Once you've had your fill of temples and ruins, you'll board the train back to Cuzco.

DAY 4 Homeward Bound

Today it's time to bid farewell to Peru as you begin your journey home. After a late breakfast and checkout, you will be privately transferred to Cusco airport for the hour-and-a-half flight to Lima. From there you will catch your flight home, which will take around 15 hours flying via a European city, before landing back in the UK the following day. As before, iPads to the ready!
