Itinerary
We will pick you up at your hotel in Arequipa at 6:30 a.m. and we will start a very peculiar tour: the Loncco Route. You will contemplate natural landscapes and less known localities of Peru, but no less interesting for that. Let's discover it!

We will start by going to the village of Quequeña, where we will visit the Museum of the Martyrs, built on the occasion of the war between Peru and Chile, and the petroglyphs of Guayalopo and Curlaca. Did you know that they are more than 1500 years old?

As we go along, we will reveal who the Loncco is, a traditional Arequipa character famous for his particular identity. He will surprise you!

Then we will go to the viewpoint of Cerro Soncomarca, from where you can admire breathtaking views of the terraces of Arequipa, and you will have the chance to enter the church of Quequeña. We will continue the Loncco Route in Sogay and its picturesque square full of palm trees. Another of the tourist attractions of this town are its ashlar houses located on the terraces of the hillside and overlooking the Yarabamba River. You will love this picture!

Then we will go to the Uzuña lagoon, located in the territory of Polobaya. In this natural spot at the foot of a volcanic mountain range you can practice activities such as boating, kayaking or sport fishing. Afterwards you will have free time for lunch on your own.


The next stop will be Molleybaya, a village where remains of the Aillus community and the curacazgo were found. Here we will take a short walk to visit its historic center and the communal fulling mill, an ancient machine for treating fabrics. We will also visit Characato and its square and church with water springs, impressive!

Then we will see the most emblematic places of Sabandía, including the church of the Virgen del Rosario or the mill, a construction of the seventeenth century made with the characteristic ashlar stone.

Finally, we will return to Arequipa. The tour will end in an area near Arequipa's Main Square at 5:00 pm.
