Begin your tour with a pickup from the meeting point in the historic center of Arequipa. Head to the fascinating San Camilo Market, just a few blocks from the iconic Plaza de Armas.

Explore this traditional market, whose infrastructure dates back to 1938. Initially built as the Church of San Camilo de Lelis in 1817 by the Red Cross order, the market was abandoned after the devastating earthquake of 1868. For many years, it served as a military hospital and school. The San Camilo Market is a witness to the historical events of Arequipa and has become an integral part of its legacy.

Designed by the famous French architect Gustave Eiffel, the market was declared a Monumental Historical Heritage in 1987. Enjoy a fascinating walking tour of this charming place. The market is immense, and you’ll have the opportunity to admire a wide variety of fresh products, such as exquisite fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and typical Peruvian meats.

Explore the herbal section, where you’ll learn about natural medicines and their benefits. Don’t miss the opportunity to taste the authentic flavors of Arequipa at the typical food stalls in the market. Delight in emblematic dishes such as rocoto relleno and adobo (optional), while immersing yourself in the culinary richness of the region. And, of course, don’t leave without trying the delicious traditional desserts, such as the famous queso helado.

End your tour with a brief walk through the historic center of Arequipa, appreciating its colonial streets and the beauty of the Plaza de Armas.
