Set in the picturesque district of Barrio de San Lazaro, the beautiful Hotel Fundador is a idyllic choice for your trip to Arequipa.  We loved the welcoming boutique hotel with friendly service, modern guestrooms, and unbeatable rooftop views.  Both our rooms features stunning step out balconies which overlooked the romantic square and spectacular sunsets each evening.  The area was filled with cute eateries and quaint cafes and we were only a stones throw to the historic center where you can explore all of Arequipa’s famed sights.  An ideal choice for families and couples looking for tranquility and personalised service during their getaway to Peru’s famed white city.

Lake Titicaca is a must visit in Peru and one of the most stunning sights in the country.  We loved staying at GHL Lago Titicaca situated on an island placed at the center of the lake’s magnificent scenery.  We loved the cozy lodge vibes, delicious fare at their elegant restaurant and the modern guestooms boasting panoramic views.  Just steps from the entrance is a picturesque trail where you can stroll along the tranquil lake and even meet a few alpacas and llamas.  Staff were always on hand to assist with booking tours and transportation and the on site pier makes it easy to visit the famed Uros Islands during your stay.  An amazing choice for families seeking luxury and tranquility while visiting Lake Titicaca.

Visit Cusco with Sonesta Hotel Cusco and discover the vibrant historic city.  We loved the family friendly property with cozy and modern guestrooms, incredible views, and inviting staff.  Each morning we started our day at the delicious and varied buffet breakfast before walking into the Plaza de Armas to explore the plethora of ancient sights.  You’re just a short walk to many mercados, eateries, and cafes and we couldn’t miss the opportunity to buy handcrafted souvenirs or take a picture with a cute baby lamb.

Palacio Manco Capac is the perfect luxury choice for discovering the city of Cusco. Perched above the captivating city, the five star hotel is a tranquil sanctuary for your family’s stay in the cultural destination. We loved the historic building, decadent and cozy guest rooms, and impeccably styled lounge spaces and dining area. The attention to detail and stylish corners were a huge highlight of the property, creating the illusion of a grand stately home. Our Master Suite was spacious enough for a family of four with modern amenities and five star touches to ensure a sumptuous stay.

We made full use of the cozy lounge enjoying the roaring fireplace each evening alongside unforgettable vistas. The hotel is located just a short walk to the the historic center and Plaza de Armas as well as the bohemian district of San Blas.  The highlight was their resident baby alpacas who our children visited and fed daily.  Staff went out of their way to ensure our comfort, helped with recommendations and transport arrangements, and served a mouthwatering breakfast each morning in the stunning dining room.  A tranquil and luxurious choice for families seeking tranquility, and style at the heart of Cusco.

Travel to Machu Picchu with PeruRail.  With trains departing from Cusco and Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes, it’s the luxury journey of a lifetime to an unforgettable world wonder.  From the entertainment and scenery at the train station to the fully immersive scenic ride, and safe arrival to Aguas Calientes we couldn’t have asked for more from our experience.  We travelled in the luxurious Vistadome and were captivated  by panoramic windows surrounding the entire carriage.  We felt surrounded by verdant and stunning scenery alongside impeccable service and a truly decadent ride.  The Vistadome service includes sumptuous seating, locally produced snacks and refreshments during the journey, informative announcements pointing out iconic stops, and a cultural performance and fashion show.  Our kids were captivated every minute of the journey.  Not only did PeruRail ensure we have a safe and comfortable journey but made the ride to Machu Picchu an experience to remember.

Ollantaytambo was one of our favorite destinations in Peru, and El Albergue is an ideal choice for families looking to experience the charming town.  Set at the famous train station it’s a perfect jumping off point for exploring Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.  The rustic yet stylish boutique hotel boasts comfortable guestrooms with modern amenities, beautiful grounds surrounded in lush greenery, and an on site organic farm.  We loved their farm to table dining options and sampling the traditional Pachamanca Lunch.  Our kids enjoyed meeting the resident animals and exploring the local school and we were only a few minutes walk to the artisanal market, historic ruins, and main town square.  Service was always friendly and helpful and we enjoyed the mix of traditional Peruvian ethos alongside world class hospitality. 

An amazing choice for those looking for a deluxe boutique property offering culture, tradition, and luxury at the heart of the Sacred Valley.

Take your family on a luxury adventure to Machu Picchu with Sumaq Hotel.  As soon as you set foot in Sumaq’s inviting and stylish lobby you know you’re in for a five star experience.  We loved the grandeur paired with traditional Peruvian touches and the warm and welcoming staff ready to ensure you have a trip to remember.  Our kids were given individual check-in cards created for little ones to fill out.  They loved the welcome drinks and treats and were instantly excited due to the child friendly welcome.  As a family of four the grand and spacious family suite was perfect for our stay.  The bedding was plush and decadent and the kids were treated to mini bathrobes and personalised pillow cases.

Sumaq is optimally located on the stunning Urubamba River boasting spectacular views.  You’re within a few minutes walk to the heart of Aguas Calientes and the bus that takes you to the entrance of Machu Picchu.  The helpful staff assisted with any questions and ensured we had our tickets printed and the correct bus tickets for our day at the world wonder.

We stayed two nights and were on the half board package which was an absolute foodie treat.  The breakfast spread each morning was varied and mouthwatering including local and healthy options alongside made to order eggs.  Children had their own selection of character shaped eggs and pancakes making it such a fun way to start the day.  The gourmet dinner menu was some of the most delicious food we had in Peru and they also cater to young guests with a tempting and healthy kids menu.  Make sure to try their gastronomic experiences including learning how to make a classic ceviche or a perfect Pisco Sour.  Our kids throughly enjoyed the mini chef classes which was a perfect addition to our stay.

Every detail was taken care of during our stay at Sumaq Hotel.  From meeting at the train station to a sweet turn down service, it was the personalised experience that ensured our family had a memorable trip and stay.  If you’re looking to visit Machu Picchu as a family, and prefer five star luxury, there’s no better choice than Sumaq Hotel.

Families traveling through Lima will love Holiday Inn Lima Airport as an option for a long layover or comfortable stay before an early flight.  The modern four star hotel boasts spacious deluxe guestrooms, an inviting heated pool, fully equipped gym, and mouthwatering restaurant serving Peruvian and International specialities.  The best part is kids under 12 eat for free when dining with a parent at the hotel restaurant.  We loved all the personal and welcoming touches and their concierge was always on hand to assist with any requests.  They even arranged a fun day trip in the area. Our family booked a boat to Palomino Island to swim with the famed sea lions. An unforgettable experience for our children  and every detail was arranged from transport and packed lunches to an amazing English speaking guide.  Holiday Inn offers free shuttle service to and from Lima Airport for all their guests.  The perfect stop before departing Peru’s capital to continue your journey.
