Additional Information

A transfer from your accommodation will take you to the Carmen Alto lookout point, where you’ll behold the rural surroundings of Arequipa, the Chili river, and the magnificent Misti and Chachani volcanoes. Next, you’ll be taken to the Yanahuara viewpoint, a 19th-century construction offering a breathtaking view of the city, under the constant gaze of the mighty Misti volcano. You’ll then tour the Jesuit Company’s basilica, a striking neo-renaissance piece of architecture crafted from white volcanic stone, commonly known as ashlar. The tour rolls onto the Main Square, the central hub of urban interactions. To cap off the experience, you’ll discover the renowned Santa Catalina Convent, a respected 16th-century establishment consisting of squares, cloisters, and streets, formerly home to daughters of distinguished families, under the care of the Convent’s nuns.
