Trip report from our recent family adventure to Peru. We acclimated in the Sacred Valley before venturing onto Cusco and eventually hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu.

Excellent! We did a similar trip in 2011, then went back in 2015 to hike the Cordillera Blanca. And we were there again last year to do more exploring and hiking around Cusco. What a wonderful place to visit: stunning scenery, unbelieveable archeology, lovely people, and amazing cuisine. When are you going back?

Scheming on what to do on a return trip. I'd really like to do the Choquequirao to Vilcabamba trek (had to cancel this previously due to the pandemic). Also on the list is Lares and there are so many day hikes to do in the Sacred Valley and Cusco!
