Description

On this tour of the mysteries and legends of Arequipa we will discover the lesser-known stories of its monuments and see an unforgettable sunset.
Did you know that Arequipa is full of mysteries? To discover them, we will meet on Zela Street at the indicated time and begin a walking tour of the San Lázaro neighborhood.

We will explore the narrow streets of this area of Arequipa while we learn the curiosities hidden in its small squares and mansions. Did you know that it is built on the ancient pre-Hispanic town Yarabaya? From here we will go to the Quinta Salas, also known as the Devil's Castle.

Before continuing with the tour of the mysteries and legends of Arequipa, we will stop at a local cafe to taste Peruvian coffee and artisanal chocolate from the Quillabamba Valley. With this good taste in our mouths, we will head to the Solar neighborhood.

As we walk through its alleys, it will seem that we are going back in time. Nearby we will find the Tambo Matadero, a place built in the 17th century where animals were sacrificed. Your hair will stand on end!

In the final stretch of the tour, we will explore the old Calle Real until we reach the Plaza de Armas. Imposing, we will be greeted by the Cathedral Basilica of Arequipa, one of the most beautiful monuments in the city. With this beautiful image we will enjoy a magical sunset and we will end the tour after three and a half hours of tour.
