Day 1
Arequipa City & Country Full-day Tour
Discover the charm of Arequipa, known as the “White City” for its stunning volcanic ashlar stone buildings. Begin by exploring the vibrant streets of the Centro Histórico, including the iconic Plaza de Armas, and immerse yourself in the relaxed pace of local life.
From there, enjoy breathtaking views from the Yanahuara and Carmen Alto viewpoints, where you can capture stunning photos of the Chili Valley and the towering Misti and Chachani Volcanoes.
Next, visit the Incalpaca Outlet, where you’ll learn about South America’s fascinating camelids—llama, alpaca, vicuña, and guanaco—and explore the mini-zoo. Continue to the Sachaca district, home to a beautiful 19th-century church, and the Balneario Tingo, renowned for its delicious anticuchos and buñuelos.
Travel along the picturesque Via Paisajista to the 16th-century Mansion del Fundador, a colonial treasure, and the Sabandia Mill, where ancient stone milling techniques for processing wheat come to life.
Conclude your adventure by admiring the Andenes de Paucarpata, incredible man-made terraces that create unique microclimates, supporting the cultivation of a variety of crops. Return to the city centre with unforgettable memories of Arequipa’s culture, history, and natural beauty.
