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

And, of course, don't miss the opportunity to try traditional desserts, such as the famous queso helado.

At the end of your tour, return to your hotel, ensuring you have an unforgettable experience filled with wonderful memories.
