Useful Links
We have selected a number of Links
that may be useful in planning your trip.
These include traveller tips, cultural information
etc. We have called these "Useful Sites when Planning
your trip". If you know a website address that has been
helpful and we don't list it, please let us know. We would
love that sort of feedback.
We have also selected a number of website addresses
of organizations, museums and other cultural institutions
in Peru and worldwide that Aracari is linked to in some way
or another. These are called "Friendly Organizations
and Associations"
Additionally, we are including a section with
the website addresses of companies that we recommend. These
companies are owned by people we know, and offer services
to a standard similar and share the same philosophy as Aracari:
Small, sustainable and owner -operated.
So, if you are planning a trip to London
and don't know where to stay, or you want to explore India
or China, here are our suggestions! We have called this section
"Links to Like-minded companies". If you try any
of these and have feedback, please let us know!
