Children's Activities
Where kids get messy, learn something new, and eat way too much chocolate.
Finding Good Children's Activities in Cusco Is Hard
Let's be honest — most attractions in Cusco were not built with kids in mind. Ruins don't have guardrails, museum tours go on forever, and the altitude makes everyone cranky. Children's activities in Cusco that actually keep little ones happy? There aren't that many options.
Our chocolate workshop is one of the few children's activities in the historic center where kids are genuinely engaged from start to finish. They crack open cacao pods (they love the sound it makes), they pour melted chocolate into molds shaped like llamas and suns, they sprinkle toppings on there own truffles, and they taste everything. Two hours goes by in a flash.
A dad from Santiago brought his two daughters (ages 6 and 9) during Inti Raymi festival week. He said finding children's activities during festival season was impossible — every tour was fully booked and too advanced for kids. He found us on Google and said it was the highlight of there whole trip. His youngest still sends us drawings of chocolate bars she made.
What Ages Work Best?
We welcome kids from age 4 and up. The little ones mostly focus on decorating and tasting (which is really what they want anyway). Kids age 8 and older usually do the full workshop — roasting, grinding, tempering, and molding. Teenagers love it to, especially when they find out they get to eat everything they make.
For children's activities that work for mixed ages — like when you've got a 5-year-old and a 12-year-old — our workshop is perfect because everyone works at there own speed. No one's waiting around bored.
Safe, Indoor, and Close to Everything
Our workshop is in San Blas — the safest and most walkable neighborhood in central Cusco. Its an indoor activity, so weather doesn't matter. If your staying near the Plaza de Armas, its a 5-minute walk. If your staying in San Blas, we're probably on your street.
After the children's activities at our workshop, families usually grab ice cream at the gelato shop down the hill or head to the playground near Plazoleta San Blas. Its a full afternoon of fun without needing a taxi or a tour bus.
