About us
Years ago we founded Arawi
An independent peruvian inbound travel company, to craft tailor-made, sustainable, and high-quality experiences
Over time, we’ve learned to balance the classic with the alternative, knowing there’s no single path, but many ways to make each journey meaningful. Travel that truly matters.
The people we work with—guides, operators, hosts, and entrepreneurs—make travel in Peru more human and enriching in an increasingly impersonal world.
Why Travel With Arawi?

Connecting with locals, learning, and truly engaging with the country and its people.

I am a lawyer by profession and traveler by vocation. Since I was very young I put my backpack on and traveled through Peru. My work allows me to travel to many places around the world, but I always keep coming back to look for the unique excitement of my wonderful home country. I think Peru has much to offer for the travelers, even self-discovery.
