The kids of Patakancha

We could not consider our tours of Peru, Bolivia and Galapagos to be of the highest calibre and authenticity without basing our operations in responsible and sustainable practices. We are devoted to promoting ethical travel in Peru, Bolivia and Galapagos, that is respectful of the environment and cultures that our guests encounter during their journeys with Aracari. In the video below you will see one of our activities at giving back to the community, to the kids of Patakancha.

In the following video you will see the sons & daughters of our trek porters, receiving gifts as part of the several projects we support in the communities we work in. They live in a town called Patakancha, nestled in the hills above Ollantaytambo, easy to get to in one of our authentic treks.

There are numerous projects, organisations and communities with which we have been involved over the years (listed below), and we are always investigating new projects and worthwhile causes to support. If you know of any projects in Peru or in the other countries where we operate that you think would be suitable, please let us know at travel@aracari.com or contact us.
