INDIANA CLONES A whip and a fedora aren’t compulsory on G Adventures’ Amazon to the Andes trip, but with the focus on ancient civilisations and jungle adventures, families on this tour in Peru will feel like Indiana Jones all the same. After hiking the Inca Trail to the ancient city of Machu Picchu, all-action options include horseback riding around archaeological sites, white-water
rafting and mountain biking, before heading off to the Amazon jungle to spend two nights in a rainforest lodge, where they will explore the waterways by motorised canoe. This is one of the operator’s new Teen Adventures, where the minimum age is 12 and groups are no larger than 20 people. Book it: G Adventures’ 12-day Amazon to the Andes Teenage Adventure starts at £1,399 for adults and £1,299 for children, including accommodation, activities, guiding, internal flights and transport, but excluding international flights.

ICE AGES Anyone who has yawned at the back of a geography class will know the
part glaciers play in forming a landscape, but a trip to western Canada will bring the lesson alive. Not just because of the stunning mountain scenery created by these vast ice sheets, but because families can set foot on the real thing. A walk on Alberta’s Athabasca Glacier is included in Grand American Adventures’ Canadian Family Discovery Tour. The trip showcases the best of the Rocky Mountains, with plenty of optional action, from mountain biking and horseriding to zip-lining and white-water
rafting (some activities cost extra). Accommodation is mostly camping, with a one-night ranch stay. The minimum age for this tour is eight. Book it: Grand American Adventures offers the 10-day Canadian Family Discovery Tour from £2,208 for adults, £1,971 for children between 12 and 16, and £1,901 under-12s. The price includes flights, accommodation, many meals, some activities, transport and guiding.
