Many people visit a country, tick off all the tourist attractions but leave without really getting under its skin. Aracari founder Marisol Mosquera has called on her personal contacts throughout Bolivia to personally plan a unique trip that introduces you to the heart and soul of this fascinating country. Marisol is recognised as both a Condé Nast Top Travel Specialist and featured on Travel + Leisure’s A-List for designing trips to Bolivia.
