Description
Discover Arequipa on a relaxed running tour with a local. Run through the historic center, enjoy incredible views, stop for photos and local stories, and experience the city at sunrise or sunset.
Discover Arequipa in a completely different way on a relaxed running tour led by a local. This is a social running experience designed especially for travelers who want to stay active while discovering the city beyond a traditional walking tour.
Run approximately 6 km at a comfortable, conversational pace, adapting to the group and Arequipa’s altitude. You do not need to be a fast or experienced runner.
Start near Plaza de Armas in the historic center and run through some of Arequipa’s most beautiful streets and local areas, combining iconic views with places travelers might otherwise miss. Along the way, slow down or stop at selected points to enjoy the views, take photos, recover, and hear local stories and recommendations.
The experience is hosted by a local who knows Arequipa and can also share recommendations for food, coffee, nightlife, outdoor activities, and other things to do during your stay.
The atmosphere is relaxed and social rather than competitive. The idea is not to race or complete a workout as quickly as possible, but to explore Arequipa through running and meet other travelers along the way.
The experience lasts approximately one hour and is suitable for different running levels. The pace is adapted to the group, with extra consideration for visitors who are still adjusting to Arequipa’s altitude.
Choose from a morning run with the city waking up or an afternoon run around sunset.
