A tailor made journey to the Andes awaits you
Christmas in Peru, as anywhere in the world, is a time of great joy and fanfare. The night of the 24th of December – or “la noche Buena” (the good night) – is the big celebration, when families gather together to enjoy good food and merriments before opening their presents together after midnight (although the children are often allowed to open their presents early). It is a very festive occasion with lots of food, drink, music and dancing.
With such destinations as Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca and the Nasca lines, a well-established tourist circuit has been etched for those wanting to visit the popular destinations in southern Peru. But to the north of Peru, too, it is possible to combine an abundance of places of interest into one itinerary: pre-Inca ruins; native and endemic wildlife; stretching beaches of golden sand; and some quite breathtaking scenery are just some of the enticing sights that await those who travel here. In fact, Aracari is confident that the northern circuit is on the verge of becoming as popular a route for travellers as its southern counterpart.
Full of remarkable pre-Columbian ruins and blessed with outstanding spots natural beauty, Aracari well-knows that the Chachapoyas region is one of the most exciting and adventurous destinations in Peru. But the dilemma faced by more discerning travellers wanting to travel here is whereabouts exactly they should stay.
