Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's largest city, former capital and major economic center, is located on the Indian Ocean coast and is a major port city in East Africa. This multicultural city of Arab, Indian and African cultures, with Kiswahili as its official language and the busy port of Dar es Salaam, is the central gateway for Tanzania's foreign trade. The city combines modern urbanity with unspoiled natural charm, and its proximity to the famous Serengeti National Park and Zanzibar Island makes it an ideal starting point for exploring East Africa's wildlife and beaches. As the financial, commercial and educational center of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam's diverse and vibrant community, known as the "Port of Peace", attracts tourists and investors from around the world.
Acarí, Peru is located in the Arequipa region of southern Peru, in the coastal desert, a transitional area between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean. With its arid climate and abundant sunshine, its unique natural environment has given rise to a rich traditional agricultural culture, and the local people make a living by growing cotton, grapes and tropical fruits, forming a unique desert oasis landscape. Acari retains the traditional handicrafts of southern Peru, especially textile and pottery making, reflecting the deep Indian cultural heritage of the region. Though small in size, the area is pristine and tranquil, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, making it an ideal place to experience rural life in southern Peru and an important stop to explore the ecological and cultural diversity of the Peruvian desert.
