Tour Overview
Our meeting point is conveniently located in the heart of Arequipa's historic district. From here, we will commence our guided stroll, unveiling the key highlights of the 'White City'.
We'll visit nearby temples and museums, including the San Francisco Church, the Temple of the Order of Friars Minor, the Guillermo Zegarra Meneses Municipal History Museum, and the Fundo el Fierro Mansion.
During this complimentary exploration, you'll also have the chance to meander through Arequipa's most ancient neighborhood: San Lázaro. Here, you'll appreciate the charm of its narrow lanes lined with homes crafted from volcanic stone and adorned with vibrant flora, combining to create an inviting atmosphere.
To further enrich your understanding of Arequipa's culture, we will visit Mundo Alpaca, an interactive experience where you can interact with llamas and alpacas, two iconic animals of the region. This stop will not only enlighten you about differentiating these species but also provide insights into the wool production process.
Next, we'll arrive at the iconic Plaza de Armas, home to the majestic cathedral and the Company of Jesus cloisters. To cap off our walking tour with a delightful twist, we’ll conclude at a traditional bar where you have the option to savor authentic Peruvian pisco!
