Planning a family adventure to Peru?
The Sacred Valley offers some of the most memorable, safe, and educational experiences for travelers of all ages. This is the perfect family program curated by Tourist Peru.
The Sacred Valley is ideal for families thanks to its mild climate, beautiful landscapes, and welcoming communities. With lower altitudes than Cusco, it’s easier on young travelers adjusting to the Andes. At Tourist Peru, we design family-friendly experiences that go beyond sightseeing, offering immersive moments your children will remember for years.
Start your journey in Pisac, where kids can explore colorful market stalls full of handmade toys and textiles.
Afterwards, you can hike or drive up to the Pisac ruins, a manageable visit with spectacular views. Many of Tourist Peru’s tours include stops and opportunities to see llamas and alpacas along the way.
Start your day at the circular terraces of Moray, an iconic Inca site with dramatic views and plenty of space for kids to walk around safely.
Then head to the Maras Salt Mines, where thousands of salt pools cover the landscape in stunning patterns (a perfect photo stop for the whole family).
End the tour at Huaypo Lake, a calm and beautiful spot perfect for resting and just enjoying the landscape. With Tourist Peru, you’ll enjoy a smooth, family-friendly day combining culture, nature, and comfort.
In Urubamba, families can take part in a fun ceramics workshop where kids and parents get to paint their own traditional pottery. It’s a creative, hands-on activity everyone can enjoy.
After that, you’ll head out on a relaxed horseback ride through the nearby fields and villages. The routes are easy, and the horses are calm, perfect for beginners and little ones.
It’s one of Tourist Peru’s most loved family combos: art, nature, and great memories.
In the highland town of Chinchero, your family can visit a weaving cooperative to watch lively demonstrations of traditional Andean techniques. Kids often love the colors, the spinning process, and even trying a bit of wool dyeing themselves. After the workshop, enjoy a gentle village walk with incredible views of terraces, snowcapped mountains, and adobe houses.
Step into history at the impressive Ollantaytambo fortress, with its giant stone steps and Inca architecture perfect for adventurous older kids. After climbing and exploring, wind down with a visit to a nearby Andean farm, where children can interact with local animals, learn about farming traditions, and get a glimpse into valley life. This balance of culture and contact with nature makes it one of the most complete stops in Tourist Peru’s family tours.
The Sacred Valley is more than just a route to Machu Picchu, it’s a cultural playground filled with safe, exciting, and memorable experiences. At Tourist Peru, we carefully craft our family-friendly tours in the Sacred Valley of Peru to balance fun and comfort, so every member of your family, young or old, leaves with lifelong memories.
