Aracari Bulletin

Travel Planner

Aracari Bulletin - 2008.12

In the spirit of the season we're celebrating some exciting initiatives that took place in South America this past year. Be it a beautiful piece of Ecuadorian folk art, a feather pillow at the end of a long day's trek, or the development of the first luxury boutique hotel in Cuzco. Each has in common a sense of wanting to raise the bar - of giving people new options to customize a truly inspiring journey. You'll find new sample itineraries featuring the most selective and up-to-date travel experiences on our website. We carefully incorporated options that offer genuine Andean experiences while remaining accessible as we ride through the current economic storm. If an Aracari journey is on your 2009 wish list, we will be delighted to work with you to help bring that journey to life.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Holiday and Joyous 2009,

Marisol and the Aracari team
