How about rafting through the Verdon Gorge – the biggest canyon in Europe, or visiting Machu Picchu? These expertly-crafted experiences for all the family to engage in together are brand-new to Activities Abroad’s diverse portfolio of holidays, where youngsters’ minds are stimulated by natural surroundings instead of social media.
