the Aracari Blog

In order to spread the word abou luxury travel in Peru to new parts of the world, Aracari has recently participated in a high profile event in Singapore called Discovery of the Senses to expose our services to travellers from Asia. Teaming up with event organisers Quotient Travel Planner, Aracari was presented alongside six other prestigious travel companies from across the world, which included the likes of Relais & Châteaux and Silversea cruises. Guests were by the invitation of participating companies only, and a gourmet dinner was crafted by top Singapore chef Emmanuel Stroobant of St Pierre.

Following a recent visit to the house of Naguib Ciurlizza, the Aracari team was delighted to learn that the distinguished host will soon receive our guests for lunch in his private home.

Located close to Lima, his property contains perhaps the most remarkable garden in Peru, which has been designed with immaculate attention to detail and that makes for a peaceful afternoon relaxing and dining in the company of a captivating conversationalist and story-teller.

Tessa Prieto Valdes, one of Aracari´s very important guests from the Philippines this past April, writes an entertaining and interesting account of her South American Trip and Peru with Aracari.

We are starting a new section in our blog called Sights & Sounds of Aracari, where we will upload videos from all our trips. Starting with a charming capture of the Marinera, a graceful and romantic couple’s dance that uses handkerchiefs as props. The dance is an elegant reenactment of courtship, showing a blend of coastal Peruvian culture. You can experience this dance at the home of our contact in Trujillo, an exclusive opportunity for our clients.
