Arequipa is the second most important city in Peru, and the capital of the Arequipa region. It is surrounded by 3 volcanoes, El Misti, Chachani and Puchu Pichu. The center of the city has baroque buildings built of ashlar (white volcanic stone). In its historic center, there is the Plaza de Armas, an imposing main square, and to the north of it is the neoclassical 17th-century Basilica Cathedral, which houses a museum where works of art and religious objects are exhibited.
Shared hours: 2:00 p.m.
Private hours: from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
It is organized from downtown hotels (If your hotel is located outside the historic center, the meeting will be at the corner of the archbishopric - corner of San Francisco and Moral)
I pick up our clients from their different hotels and then start the tour of the historic center, we will visit the Santa Catalina Monastery, which is a sample of four centuries of Arequipa architecture, the intrusive cells, the small streets and cloisters full of colorful flowers and the walls painted in cool tones. Narrow alleys lead to the various parts of the convent passing through picturesque sites and living and sleeping places with the original furniture.
Visitors will be revived and lost in the path of time. Next we will visit the Plaza de Armas, one of the most beautiful in Peru, the Jesuit Church of the Company, which in its beautiful facade announces the so-called mestizo architecture, its cloisters and dome and as an example of a colonial mansion we will know the mansion Tristán del Well.
