Travel Review: Luxury Peru Family Vacation, Lima, Cusco, Machu Picchu, Mountain Biking, Horseback Riding, Whitewater Rafting

Children/ teenagers can not handle 3 hours tours. I found the tour in Cusco very informative, just an hour too long the kids were being tortured in the last hour and could not wait for it to be over. The same thing with the Macchu Pichu tour, I enjoyed it immensely and the guide was excellent and the history fascinating, but it was hot, the kids were exhausted and dehydrated and miserable after an hour. A one hour tour with some pictures would have been plenty. My daughter threw up on the bus back and in the hotel and was sick for the rest of the night. A combination between the altitude and the heat.  I would just ask the tour guide to cut things short, but I'm sure they were just doing their jobs with a full complete informative tour. Otherwise, everything else was perfect.

I would have stayed 2 nights at the Cusco also. The casita was one of the most amazing hotels I have ever stayed. It could have been done but we had asked to go back to Cusco on New Year's Eve so logistically it did not work out.
