Colombia
Cartagena & Barichara
A family adventure based in one whitewashed colonial town: mountain biking, class IV-V rapids, canyoning a 500-foot waterfall, a canyon bungee and paragliding.
Best For
Families with teens needing activity, and anyone drawn to a Colombia few visitors have found.
Colombia
Bogotá, Caño Cristales & Cocora Valley
Frontier jungle, a river that blooms in colour and Colombia's coffee country by Willys Jeep. Three stops from wilderness to colonial towns, bookended by Bogotá.
Best For
Those who want both frontier and familiar in one trip, with a local agency handling the logistics.
Peru
Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu & Amazon
Inca ruins, Amazon rivers, and a birthday zipline above the Sacred Valley. Peru delivered ancient history and a jungle adventure for a family with kids under 10.
Best For
Families ready to take small children well beyond the usual family holiday.
