Adventure & Trekking

Luxury adventures to the wildest corners of South America

From glacier-fed lakes to dense Amazonian rainforest, South America is a continent built for exploration—and Aracari crafts journeys that connect you to its wildest corners.

Whether it’s trekking to Machu Picchu along the Salkantay route, hiking the volcanoes of northern Chile, sailing through the Galápagos, navigating the jungles of the Peruvian Amazon, or exploring the windswept expanse of Patagonia, our adventure itineraries go far beyond the expected. We design private journeys tailored to your pace, and guided by local experts who know the terrain like home.

From Patagonia to the Peruvian Andes, explore our bespoke journeys into the raw, the remote, and the unforgettable.

Please note: all of our adventure experiences are offered exclusively as part of a privately tailored journey with Aracari, not as standalone activities.

Experts in Adventure & Trekking in Peru

Peru has long been a place of pilgrimage for adventurous spirits, and with Aracari, it becomes something more: a journey into landscapes shaped by nature, history, and human connection.

We’ve spent decades exploring Peru’s wildest corners, from the glacier-lined trails of the Andes to the winding tributaries of the Amazon. That experience translates into carefully crafted routes and thoughtful logistics, whether you’re hiking to Machu Picchu, rafting the Apurímac, or tracing ancient footpaths in remote highland valleys.

What sets our adventures apart is perspective. You travel with expert guides who understand not only the geography but the stories carried through it, from Inca engineering to contemporary community life. Every journey is tailored to your pace and comfort, without ever losing touch with the rawness and reward of the wild.

Deeper Journeys, Different Perspectives

Luxury Adventure & Trekking Experiences

With Aracari, adventure is about more than reaching remote places—it’s how you experience them. Our journeys offer rare access through a trusted network of naturalist guides, high-altitude mountaineers, conservationists, and Andean historians who know each landscape intimately.

Explore the wilds of South America in ways few ever do: track wildlife in secluded cloud forests, cross salt flats with a private guide, summit a quiet Andean pass, or follow ancient footpaths on multi-day treks supported by luxury-standard camps or thoughtfully curated lodge-to-lodge routes. Whether on foot, by kayak, or on horseback, each adventure is shaped by your pace, comfort, and curiosity.

Every detail is designed with care, from seamless logistics to meaningful encounters along the way
