About us

Arawi

Journeys that matter


We think of trips to Peru that matter, that roots us and provide us with
valuable experiences. Let them transform us. To our travellers and
corporate clients, we offer our professional commitment to innovation,
responsibility, listening and personalized treatment.

 

To society, our firm bet is for the inclusion of community rural tourism projects, archaeological
destinations that involve the local population in the recovery of heritage, or conservation
projects that constitute, perhaps, the last stronghold to defend the natural resources.

We are all part of this. Here we are to learn from each other and try to build it all together.


(H) Arawi, which derives from quechua (H)arawi, is a poem and song to the earth, to love,
to animals, and of caring about our environment in an all-encompassing way.

Our team

MARIBEL TOVAR

Founder and Director

I am an anthropologist and have lived for many years between Barcelona, where I started a family, and Peru, my birth country. I have travelled throughout Peru for many years trying to understand this wonderful and complicated country… although (very) far from achieving it, I will never get tired of continuing to do so: Peru has many layers of history and culture re-discovered and recreated daily. My motivation from the beginning has been to create a company that is economic and social profitable, a contribution to the community. To reveal the experiences, knowledge and contribution of Peruvian women to this cultural fabric, is an extra personal motivation that drives me in this professional and life project.

TATI QUIÑONES

Founder and Director

I am amazed about Peru’s diverse nature, people and culture. When I am traveling I
have the feeling of belonging to something bigger, greater, like being part of the light, reflection, and color of my country. And this is the feeling I am always looking forward to when I am traveling and I want to share the with the ones who want to visit and experience Peru.

MARÍA DEL CARMEN TOVAR

Founder and consultant

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 let me travel to many places in 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.

ALIDA LAZO

Administrative manager

With experience in management of international organizations I have seen strengthened my respect for the environment and social commitment. I became astonished by our diversity in landscapes and cultures. I believe that there is no better way to show this diversity than socially responsible tourism, each trip represents a unique experience that can have a high and positive impact to the communities in the country.
