Family friendly travel in Peru is easy in Cusco and the Amazon
04 February 2026 (252 visits)If you are looking for a family friendly plan for your Peru trip, here at Tambopata Ecolodge we recommend an exciting combination of cultural highlights and adventures in the natural world. By choosing just three of the main attractions that Peru offers, the perfect way to make this plan a reality is to visit Cusco, Machu Picchu and the Amazon jungle!
Here in Tambopata, where we meet our guests from Puerto Maldonado airport or bus station for the boat ride deep into the rainforest to our comfortable jungle lodge, we are both the easiest to reach and most biologically diverse destination in the Peruvian Amazon. We can be accessed via regular flights from Lima or Cusco, and there is even a bus service from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado!
Many of our team of lodge staff, boat crews and expert naturalist guides are parents too, and we know how to create a family friendly rainforest experience that guests of all ages can enjoy together.
If you plan to visit Peru with your family, you should definitely plan to include a once-in-a-lifetime Amazon jungle trip. The rainforest tours we offer are ideal for the whole family. We have been using ecotourism to fund our conservation model for more than 35 years, and our eco-friendly activities include nature walks on rainforest trails and boat trips on rivers and lakes. We also include visits to Tambopata’s unique clay licks, where macaws, parrots and parakeets can be seen gathering in colorful and noisy mixed-species flocks.
If, as a parent, you have ever imagined introducing your children to the wonders of the natural world and teaching them through personal experience about the importance of protecting our planet, then a family vacation in Peru that includes the Amazon rainforest is the perfect trip for you!
When you have seen Cusco and Machu Picchu, and maybe even walked the famous Inca Trail, visit the Amazon jungle of Peru with our lodge as your secure and comfortable base, and we’ll guide you in one of the world’s last great wilderness areas!
