Our favourite experiences for families in South America

South America promises a dream holiday for families whether the members are young or young at heart. On a bespoke luxury family holiday with Lightfoot Travel, we’ll make sure your trip will take you to stunning destinations, and we’ll arrange an array of fun activities that cater for all family members and generations.

On a family adventure to Brazil, cycle along the beach front in Rio de Janeiro, and take a helicopter ride for a birds’ eye view of the Christ the Redeemer statue and the city’s many favelas. Then head to the Pantanal wetlands where guided excursions include bird watching and nature safaris.

Peru is great for families. Bike around Lima to learn about the architecture and street food. Spot otters and red howler monkeys in the Amazon Rainforest while on a tree-top walk or river canoeing trip. Supplement all the culture with a stop at the ChocoMuseo, where kids (and adults!) can enjoy a chocolate workshop.
