Itinerary

Our experience begins with pickup from your hotel in the city of Arequipa. We will start by visiting Carmen Alto, a charming viewpoint offering panoramic views of the countryside and the majestic volcanoes, an ideal spot to enjoy nature and capture beautiful photographs. We will then continue to the Yanahuara Viewpoint, famous for its volcanic stone arches and its picturesque square with a lovely colonial church. Next, we will stroll through the Callejón de la Casa Encantada and Callejón Toledo, two places full of history, art, and tradition. We will also visit the beautiful Cathedral of Arequipa and the elegant Plaza de Armas, surrounded by colonial arcades and historic monuments. Our journey continues to the Monastery of Santa Catalina, a true city within a city that reflects centuries of devotion and monastic life. Finally, we will visit the Church and Cloisters of the Society of Jesus, a masterpiece of mestizo baroque style. We will end the tour returning to your hotel, your spirit enriched by the essence of Arequipa.
