Aracari's very own Marisol Mosquera was quoted in today's Financial Times, found at the following link. The article speaks about how Peru coped when its greatest attraction was forced to close for a period exceeding 2 months! Thankfully, Machu Picchu is now open for business and as breathtaking as ever. We will be publishing our Spring newsletter next week which touches on the same topic. Machu Picchu's 66 day closure had a devastating effect on the local economy and the Peruvians need tourists now more than ever. Just as the article states, Peru was already working towards diversifying their portfolio of offerings since there is no end to the attractions found in Peru. Aracari has known this for years. We recommend going beyond Peru's most famous post card picture and exploring the broader picture. Stay tuned for our newsletter and thanks for reading!

Dear Friends, As you may have already heard, we are experiencing major rainstorms, flooding and landslides in the Andes of Peru. As a result, train services to Machu Picchu have been interrupted with many clients stranded both there and in Cusco without having the possibility of visiting the site. While we are in the midst of rainy season, these extreme weather conditions are quite unusual. This has happened only a handful of instances during the past 10 years, and it normally subsides after a few days. Fortunately no Aracari clients are in Machu Picchu at the moment. For those whose travel is underway and who are in Lima or Cusco, we are making the maximum efforts to rearrange their travel plans so they manage to visit the site when train services resume in hopefully the next few days. For those of you who are travelling or have clients starting their trips next week, there is no need to worry as things will most certainly be back to normal. The rains have since stopped, the water levels are dropping and Cuzco is currently sunny. Please don't hesitate to contact us should you have any further questions.

In the spirit of the holidays, Aracari just returned from a gift-giving trip to the village of Patakancha set high in the Sacred Valley that surrounds Cuzco. There's no better feeling than giving back to a community that has given us so much over the past 13 years. For anyone who's ever trekked with Aracari, you have been touched by this community as the porters and cooks we work with all come from Patakancha. We were especially moved by the teacher at the local school how commutes 4 hours a day to work with these children. He proves that one person can make a difference in so many lives. Thank you for traveling with us - you've helped make this Christmas a little merrier for these children. Feliz Navidad!
