Which ages it suits
What children love
- The train to Machu Picchu
- Markets and llamas in the Sacred Valley
- The floating islands on Lake Titicaca
- An Amazon jungle lodge
Worth knowing
- No direct flights from the UK. Change in Madrid, Amsterdam or the US.
- Altitude in Cusco can hit hard, so take it slowly for a couple of days.
- Machu Picchu tickets and trains sell out, so book early.

Return flights from London. Short-haul airlines usually charge children the adult fare. A mid-range family room or apartment, plus food, local transport and days out. Prices go up in UK school holidays; August is counted as school holidays here. These are rough guides, not quotes. Plan your own holiday to see costs for your party, dates and holiday style, and add real prices as you find them.
When to go
The best months for Peru are May, June, July, August and September. July and August are peak season, when prices are highest.
