About us
Some years ago we
embarked on the adventure
of creating Arawi, a
Peruvian company that
designs tailor-made,
sustainable and qualit
travel experiences
throughout Peru. We
imagined a company
that would allow people
to get to know Peru,
our country, in a
different way
Responsible
Travel
Tourism can play an active role in defending the environment and
cultural diversity. Well managed, can also be the key to harmonious
local development.
We support local
commerce, the use
of local services,
family and/or small
scale business,
which stimulate
the economies
of populations and
communities in
each area.

We promote respect for local
culture and environmental
care, providing guidelines
to follow as a responsible
traveller (particularly
during visits to vulnerable
spaces, such as indigenous
communities, reserved
areas or archaeological
sites).

We prioritize the use
of accommodations
that have developed
responsible and
environmentally
responsible practices,
the ones that favour
the local community.


We are committed to
fighting against Sexual
Exploitation of Children
and Adolescents in
Tourism by signing
codes of conduct for
the protection of children
(The Code, ESSNA).


We work committed
to equality and
non-discrimination
based on gender, race,
beliefs, sexual orientation
or others.


We have reduced to
a minimum the use of
paper and we use recycled
paper for the production
of marketing material.

Things that matter to us
TOURISM PROJECTS RUNNED BY INDIGENOUS AND PEASANT COMMUNITIES: CULTURAL IMMERSION WITH RESPECT AND BALANCE
Peru has been home to hundreds of indigenous communities for centuries. They are the true heirs of pre-Hispanic cultures and still retain part of their ancestral organisation and worldview. Their knowledge is an invaluable cultural heritage. For some years now, there have been indigenous and peasant communities that have been promoting tourism projects in rural environments. Many of them are driven by women and offer unique experiences of coexistence and cultural immersion in contact with nature.
Tourism is important to boost their economies and generate income for families. However, these experiences must be carried out with due care, under technical criteria and seeking balance. Tourism is a complementary element and not a substitute for peasant economies. Our commitment to offer these experiences requires us to know them directly, both in terms of the quality of their service as well as their local traditions.
