What you can expect

  • We'll enjoy sitting on the second floor of the sightseeing bus to get a better view of all the tourist attractions in the city of Arequipa. We can get off the bus at the following stops: The first stop will be the Yanahuara District, where we can take photos at the famous Portales de Yanahuara with the Misti volcano in the background. We'll also visit the church in this traditional district, the Iglesia San Juan Bautista. Here, they sell the traditional queso helado (frozen cheese), which is a typical dessert from Arequipa. Its unique flavour is a must-try.

    We then head to the second stop, which will be the Carmen Alto Vantage Point, where you can see the district's terraces and also the three volcanoes in Arequipa: Misti, Chachani, and Pichu Pichu. Next, we'll head to the third stop, the Incalpaca Mini-Zoo. Admission is free, and we'll get to see the four South American camelids (llama, alpaca, vicuña, and guanaco).

    Our next stop, the fourth, is the Mansion del Fundador. It is a colonial mansion, now converted into a museum, which hosts important relics from the history of the city of Arequipa. Admission is optional but recommended, given the rich history it hosts. Finally, we will visit the fifth stop, which will be the Molino de Sabandia, where a water mill is in operation. Admission is optional. If you prefer to stay outside, you can enjoy optional activities such as horseback riding or a quad bike ride. We will then return to Arequipa city centre, which we will reach in about 45 minutes.
