Aracari Travel Consulting creates unique and authentic experiences in Peru, Bolivia and on the Galapagos Islands. A few reasons why Aracari sets its self apart from the many companies who offer travel in Peru.

We’re Local: Being based in Peru gives us an edge. We know the local mentality, we visit and re-visit all of our destinations so that we are always up-to-date on trends and current happenings in the regions where we operate.

We Offer Value: We offer real value for money. Comparing Aracari’s prices to other upscale travel services shows that we offer tangible savings compared to our competitors. We can be this competitive because we are based locally, and we manage our operations ourselves.

We’re Connected: With Aracari, guests are guaranteed insider status every place they visit. We draw on our expansive network of friends and contacts to offer guests access to the finest restaurants, quality shops and private art collections and even private tours of residencies.

We’re Experts: Being accompanied by a top-class travel guide who is engaging and knowledgeable will make the difference between an average holiday and a meaningful travel experience. We’ve selected our hosts and guides because they are the best in their fields, and we know them personally and know that they are more than willing to proactively implement solutions and alternatives to our plans if required.

We’re Compassionate: As global travellers ourselves, we’re in tune with the expectations our guests have for their trips and are able to cater to their needs, treating them as we’d like to be treated ourselves. This compassion extends to our staff and suppliers who we treat with loyalty and respect, ensuring that their working conditions are both fair and safe. And of course, we are dedicated to maintaining the heritage, both natural and cultural, of the places and communities where we send guests, making an effort to get involved in projects that will safeguard both.
