Jimmy McSparron: One of Aracari’s Top Peru Specialists
One of Aracari’s top Peru specialists, Jimmy’s expeditions and adventures include kayaking solo down the Amazon, ice climbing in the Andes, living in some of the most remote jungles on the planet and meeting head-hunters and cannibals – documenting their languages and cultures along the way. Not only have these experiences made him an honorary member of several indigenous groups (he has tattoos that were done with sticks to prove it), but they have made him a Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society, the Explorers Club, and the Royal Anthropological Institute. Jimmy’s adventures have gotten him featured both on and off screen in prestigious outlets like National Geographic and BBC.
