In the afternoon we will begin our city tour, admiring the beautiful Plaza de Armas (Main Square) and then, the celebrated Santa Catalina’s Convent. This beautiful convent was founded in 1580 and is similar to a small colonial village, with small houses built for the nuns and their maids, cloisters, plazas, narrow streets, kitchens, laundry and more.
We will continue with a visit to the Compañía de Jesús Church, a Jesuit church that is a jewel of baroque art and home to magnificent paintings. The ancient vestry is particularly beautiful with its cupola and walls covered in murals representing the jungle.
Afterwards, we will visit the residential districts of Yanahuara and Chilina, where we will have a magnificent view of Arequipa’s countryside and the Misti, the stunning volcano that seems to be guarding the city.

Today we will tour the beautiful countryside of Arequipa. We will head for Sabandía to visit the old flourmill from 1621. After its restoration a few decades ago the mill kept working powered by a neighbouring waterfall.
We will continue our trip through the countryside for a visit to the “Mansion del Fundador”, the old hacienda of Manuel García de Carbajal, founder of the city. This beautiful construction has a chapel, a central patio and lovely rooms and halls perfectly preserved.
