South America is a continent of layered traditions, vivid artistry, and living heritage. At Aracari, we craft immersive journeys that connect you to the cultural heart of each destination—through the people who shape it today.
Whether you’re tracing Indigenous textiles in the Sacred Valley, learning about Afro-Brazilian rhythms in Salvador, exploring street art in Bogotá, or visiting family-run vineyards in Mendoza, our journeys offer insight through intimacy. These aren’t performances—they’re real, respectful exchanges grounded in trust and curiosity.
We design private, tailor-made travel that brings together culture, community, and creativity. With access to local tastemakers, artisans, and historians, our Lifestyle & Culture journeys go far beyond the guidebook—revealing the everyday beauty of life across South America.
Please note: all of our cultural experiences are offered exclusively as part of a privately tailored journey with Aracari, not as standalone activities.
Experts in Cultural Travel to Peru
Peru is a country where culture lives vividly—in ancient cities and contemporary workshops, remote Andean communities and cosmopolitan galleries.
With Aracari, cultural travel goes beyond observation. We design journeys built on connection, insight, and exchange. Over nearly three decades, we’ve cultivated relationships with Peru’s most knowledgeable insiders: archaeologists, chefs, curators, musicians, and master artisans. These experts bring context to every experience, whether you’re exploring Inca ruins, visiting traditional weaving collectives, or walking through Lima’s emerging design scene.
Your itinerary is tailored to your interests—blending history with the present, and iconic sites with intimate encounters that reveal the real Peru.

Deeper Journeys, Different Perspectives
Lifestyle & Cultural Experiences
With Aracari, cultural travel is never staged—it’s shared. We connect you directly with the people shaping South America’s creative and cultural life today: artists, chefs, designers, historians, and master artisans who open their doors and stories to you.
These are encounters rooted in mutual respect and personal connection. Visit private art collections with the curators who shaped them, learn ancestral techniques from weavers in remote highland communities, or explore vibrant local markets guided by those who shop there daily.
Through Aracari Gallery—our curated platform for high-end Andean art and design—many of the featured makers also welcome our guests into their studios and workshops. It’s rare access that turns appreciation into understanding, and travel into something more enduring.
