Overview

Join this free walking tour in Arequipa and discover the city beyond its classic history. Meet your guide at Pasaje Catedral 123, Cercado de Arequipa (behind the Basilica Cathedral), and begin a cultural walk through beautiful colonial streets built with white volcanic sillar stone.

Explore hidden corners, traditional tambos that once served as the city’s first inns, and important cultural spaces connected to Mario Vargas Llosa. Along the way, visit local landmarks such as the Plaza de Armas, the Church of the Company, Bolognesi Bridge, Tambo del Solar, and the UNSA Cultural Complex.

This experience combines architecture, local stories, photography spots, volcano views, gastronomy, chocolate traditions at La Ibérica, and the authentic lifestyle of Arequipa. You will also learn about the city’s traditional picantería culture and its historical foundations.

Ideal for travelers who want a friendly, local, and cultural introduction to the White City. Comfortable shoes, warm clothing, a hat, and rain gear are recommended.
