Over the next few days, we’ll be taking a look back at some of the very best hotels featured on selected Aracari itineraries.

The criteria for making the shortlist? Seamlessly blending the luxurious with the sustainable, the experiential with the familiarity of home comforts.

To start us off, here’s Inkaterra Hacienda, Urubamba, in the Sacred Valley. This stunning five-star hotel is nestled in the foothills of the Andes, it’s eco-friendly interior a nod to the area’s history with local-style textiles and colours, all housed within a traditional hacienda.

Inkaterra Hacienda is vested in providing guests with authentic Peruvian experiences, from guided visit of their on-site ecological farm, to make-your-own local cocktail lessons (pisco, you guessed it!) and birdwatching walks.

“The #AmazonRainforests and rivers are the riche

“The #AmazonRainforests and rivers are the richest of all environments — full of amazing plants, animals and insects. But someone entering into a tropical forest for the first time is amazed by how quiet and lifeless it seems. This is because most of the action happens far above our heads in the canopy, or because the animals are nocturnal, or move so fast through the dense vegetation they’re impossible to spot, or become hidden by brilliant camouflage.”
🌱
This quote was written for Aracari by Dr. John Hemming, a renowned historian and expert on the indigenous people of #TheAmazon.
🍃
What Dr Hemming tells us is that for visits to this part of the world, the right guide is essential. A good guide knows something about #botany, #zoology, #entomology, #hydrology, #anthropology, #history and many other disciplines. That expert can reveal the secrets, find wildlife and tell innumerable stories about the most fascinating (and important) ecosystem on earth.
🌿
So start planning your trip of a lifetime to the Amazon and let our guides illuminate some of the world’s most extraordinary discoveries... #OnlyWithAracari 🌞

An experience like no other: sail through a floode

An experience like no other: sail through a flooded forest aboard a luxury yacht.

Amazon cruises focus on the rivers leading into Pacaya Samiria National Reserve, the second largest national reserve in Peru, spanning 5 million acres.

Visiting in high water season (November - May) means that almost every river, creek and lake is navigable, allowing vessels to creep through the labyrinth of canopy covered waterways.

And after a hot day, what better way to cool off.

If you’d like to start planning your trip to The Amazon, whether your style is to cruise or stay in a luxury lodge, click the link in bio and explore the handpicked Aracari itineraries designed to show visitors the very best of the world’s largest tropical rain forest.

In a plateaued and windy region of the mountains,

In a plateaued and windy region of the mountains, an ancient culture makes their home.

The Aymara people, like the Quechua, have been around since long before the Inca empire. Today many Aymara people have spiritual practices that combine facets of traditional indigenous beliefs and Catholic beliefs brought over by the Spanish.

Many Aymara make their living as farmers, growing potatoes, quinoa, corn, and other local crops or work as herders of llama and alpaca. They tend for the land upon which they have always lived with great care and concern.

With much of how indigenous people live serving as a lesson to the rest of the world, discover more about the 51 different communities living in Peru, and better still, start planning authentic community-based travel with Aracari.
