Peru Family Multi-Adventure Tour

Many of our hikes through the Andes are remote and do not intersect with roads, so we won't see support vans along the route. Instead, you'll be provided with water, snacks and encouragement out on the trail.

Due to trail permit restrictions, there is also a small chance that your Backroads leaders may not be able to accompany you on certain sections of our routes. You'll be fully supported on these short sections by our trusted Peruvian team, many of whom have worked with Backroads for years.

In most Backroads destinations we encourage you to hike at your own pace, even if that means you don't have a leader in sight. Peru is a bit different: due to unmarked rustic trails that can change with the seasons, you'll spend most of your time hiking in the company of a Backroads leader or one of our local support staff. And on the few days when we're in national parks, staying with our certified park guides is mandatory. We'll still accommodate everyone's pace, offering a slightly different version of our dynamic trail support.

Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel is a Premiere Hotel. While it offers outstanding service and amenities, please note that it is not equipped with air-conditioning. Despite the region’s generally temperate climate and cool nights, guestrooms can occasionally become warm during peak temperatures.

Some of our activities require trail permits, which Backroads will attempt to obtain on your behalf. Permits for Peru’s most popular hikes are limited; booking as early as possible—and at least 6 months before your departure date at the very minimum—will give you the best chance of securing them. Unless you’re contacted by your Trip Consultant, you can assume we secured your permits successfully.

Trail permits are linked to the traveler's passport information. For this reason, your passport information will be collected at the time of booking. If your passport information changes between then and your departure, it's essential that you let us know as soon as possible.
