Anonymous wrote:Peru Family Trip- just did this. Guides great. Non stop and no relaxation or altitude acclimation time in Cusco. It's 11,000 feet and can really knock you out. Effects vary on people. I had no appetite, massive headaches and low blood oxygen. Ended up using an oxygen tank one night per advice of a lovely local doctor. Delivered to the hotel. You get no information about this from G so be prepared. They needed to spend more time in Cusco before Machu Picchu. Early start times and a lot of travel. The Amazon part is especially heavy on travel time. Again, there is no frontload from G Adventures. Hotels are just meh in all but Lima. There were quite a few younger kids on the trip 7 and under and I don't know why you would do this trip with a kid that little. The teens got a lot out of it.
Ugh, just saw this. Appreciate the warning. We're doing the Peru family trip with G Adventures in June. I'll do some research on oxygen tanks before we head out. I'm worried about my kids, who may not tolerate this discomfort.
