We Build Community & Support Andean Culture
THE ARI VISION
ARI in the Quechua language means YES!
The Andean Research Institute (ARI) is dedicated to helping the people of Maras in the Sacred Valley region of Peru create their own sustainable ways of life and maintain their extraordinary culture, even in the face of dwindling natural resources, economic challenges, and radical climate change.
Join us in a resounding 'YES' to a bright future for a thriving, collective world!
An ARI Update . . .
With your help, our new ARI Medical Service has been thriving since November 2025. Board Member and Director of ARI Medical Services, Dr Martin Legat, has now treated over 100 patients with the help of his local staff – Dr Carla Titica and associates Miriam Titica and Paola Pancarbo. Dr Legat’s inspirational exercise classes are helping patients maintain their newfound health.
