A private South America tour is the ultimate family vacation.
Imagine sharing sunrise at Machu Picchu, spotting monkeys in the Amazon, or exploring ancient ruins with a guide who brings history to life just for your children. Across this vast continent, every day can hold something new to spark curiosity—for parents and children alike.
We design journeys that balance adventure with comfort, pairing inspiring guides and flexible itineraries with family-friendly suites and private villas. Every detail is tailored to suit all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, so everyone can relax and enjoy the journey together.
If planning a multigenerational trip feels daunting, we’ll make it effortless—and unforgettable.
Please note: all of our family-friendly experiences are offered exclusively as part of a privately tailored journey with Aracari, not as standalone activities.
Luxury family travel to Peru offers it all
From the peaks of the Andes to the depths of the Amazon, Peru is a playground for families of all ages. Teenagers can hike ancient trails, raft mountain rivers, or marvel at vast landscapes, while younger children delight in meeting friendly llamas, spotting colorful jungle wildlife, and riding the scenic train to Machu Picchu.
Our tailor-made itineraries are designed to bring families together, with experiences that spark curiosity and create shared memories—whether it’s visiting remote Andean villages, gliding silently along Amazon backwaters in search of monkeys and macaws, or stargazing beneath some of the clearest skies in the world.

Deeper Journeys, Different Perspectives
A taste of our family-friendly experiences in South America
Wildlife wonders
From the Amazon’s winding waterways to far-flung islands teeming with birdlife, South America is alive with wildlife encounters for all ages. Our partner lodges offer engaging, family-focused programs, while private charter cruises pair adventure with expert naturalist guides who bring the landscape to life for children and adults alike.
Active adventures
Horseback riding through the Sacred Valley, paddling across glassy Patagonian lakes, ziplining above the jungle canopy—South America is an adventure playground. Even your hotel can be part of the thrill, from mountaintop hideaways to cliffside sleeping pods reached by zipline.
Cultural connections
Step inside rural communities, learn traditional crafts, and share stories with people keeping centuries-old traditions alive. These intimate, respectful exchanges take you beyond the tourist trail—and for the truly adventurous, homestays offer a deeper immersion into local life.
Time together
Our journeys are designed to create space for connection. Stay in family-friendly hotels or in private villas—whether tucked into the mountains or opening onto a secluded beach—complete with private chefs and tailored activities for relaxed, uninterrupted time together.
