Dear Cynthia, 

We had a wonderful time and the problems we incurred were minor.  We feel that you did a very good job for us and we would certainly use your company again with pleasure.  I have already been asked by some friends about the trip and I will put them in touch with you.  Thank you very much for your assistance and for wanting to have my comments…

Dear Marisol,

Hey Cynthia,
 
I must thank you again, for your attention and organisation (though the schedule to Puno was slightly punishing), you have definitley formed our view of Peru as fascinating, curiouse, warm helpful people and not easy. So thank you and everybody who helped - all the guides, hosts & drivers were a pleasure to be with.
 
And all the employees have only the best things to say about Marisol & Aracari.
 
 
Thanks again,
 
Anat & Carolina

“Cynthia,

I wanted to add my thanks too - we had a fantastic time and would not hesitate to recommend Aracari to our friends.  We had started the trip with mainly Machu Picchu in mind (and it certainly blew our minds!) but there were so many other beautiful parts of Peru we also saw.  Incidentally, things worked out for the best with our accommodation - we really liked Pueblo and don’t believe we would have preferred staying at Sanctuary Lodge!

“Hi Cynthia,

Firstly, we would like say a big thank you to the Aracari team!  We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, especially the Inca Trail trek. The guide, cook and porters were all wonderful and went out of their way to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. For example, the cook served us “cuy” for dinner at our request one night and the guide/porters even made it possible for us to wash our hair! Some of the little touches provided were also much appreciated (eg. blankets, thermos mugs, good quality tents and sleeping bags).

“Hi Marisol and Cynthia,

Thank you very much for all your work.

We have heard from our client already – he had a great time, he liked all the guides and learnt a lot, as well as enjoying the food.  Everything went smoothly.

Please will you say a big thank you to John Alfredo for looking after him so well!

Dear Marisol:

I want to thank you and everyone at Aracari for the wonderful day in Lima.  Our guide was terrific and the driver got us everywhere we wanted to go with a minimum of problems.  Our lunch at Bolivariano was excellent and really felt like we were in a different world.  Our dinner at Astrid & Gaston was enjoyed by everyone and the service, food and ambience were perfect.  It was a good way to see how Aracari operates and I look forward to sending you business in the future.

Hi Friends!

Marisol Mosquera (Aracari’s Founder and President) will be lecturing in London on the subject of Peruvian Gastronomy this coming June 24th, 2008.

A second area enjoying the attentions of travel writers in the know, Patagonia is an immense, beautiful land brimming with variety. A mere two and a half hour flight south from Buenos Aires, Patagonia offers a totally different take on Argentina. The North boasts awe-inspiring natural beauty, the Lake District of thousands of kilometres of pine-covered landscapes bursting with impressive waterfalls, forests and, of course, lakes – without a boat in sight. It is a haven for those who enjoy outdoor pursuits – horse riding with the gauchos (cowboys), fishing with the experts or simply contemplating life. Or you can cross into the Chilean Lake District perhaps via the pretty Tyrolean-like town of Bariloche.
