Having an excellent guide is vital in Peru, but at Aracari we go a step further.
To really take you under the skin of the country, we exclusively work with some of the world-leading experts in archaeology, anthropology, the arts and cuisine. With unparalleled knowledge in their fields, passion and enthusiasm they will bring to life the rich history, culture, art and cuisine of Peru during a private visit, a lecture of even an informal discussion over a meal.
The following interviews are with two of our most important specialist guides in the Cusco area, photographer and author Peter Frost and Colonial Art Historian Lisy Kuon. Both of these protagonists demonstrate the calibre of guide that Aracari collaborates with.
