Peru is such a rich tapestry of biodiversity, people and places that it’s all too easy to lose sight of what lies beyond the obvious tourist destinations. Here we throw light on some of the fascinating opportunities you have when you dig a little deeper. We explore one of the most overlooked places for wildlife spotting, the vast expanse of Northern Peru. If you are looking to cut your spend or simply want to stay somewhere full of character, we invite you to take a look at our discoveries, a unique selection of charming homestays and boutique hotels dotted around Peru. And we speak to a lady who knows her tubers from her ceviche, the celebrated chef and restaurateur, Penelope Alzamora.
Finally, we are still celebrating from being named one of the 126 Top Travel Specialists of 2009 by Condé Nast Traveler magazine – thank you for helping us get to this particular destination – we are thrilled.
With best wishes,
Marisol and the Aracari Team
Nature in all its glory
Spotlight on Northern Peru
Visit one of the most overlooked but stunningly beautiful regions of South America, the unspoilt wilderness of Northern Peru. An ornithologist’s delight, our feathered friends give only a hint of the extraordinary wealth of wildlife found in this part of the world.
Intelligent travel design takes more than just five star luxury hotels and over the years we have created a collection of little gems – homestays and boutique hotels – each with their own character and story that offer a charming and affordable way to experience Peru.
‘Fusion’ is an over-used word in today’s culinary world, but there is no national cuisine that can quite live up to this label as confidently as Peruvian. Meet one dynamic chef with a new take on introducing you to these exciting flavours.
