What you can expect

We will start our walking tour in Plaza de Armas in Arequipa, where we will begin with a detailed explanation of the history of the imposing Arequipa Cathedral, as well as the portals that surround the plaza. This square is the heart of the city and one of its main tourist attractions.

Next, we will head to the Compañía de Jesús Church, an outstanding example of Baroque architecture. Here, our guide will share details about the history and construction of the 16th-century church, as well as its cultural impact on the city.

We will continue to the Claustros de la Compañía de Jesús (Cloisters of the Society of Jesus), located next to the church. This space, with its carved ashlar arcades, will allow us to admire the beautiful corridors that showcase Arequipa's colonial art and the history of the Jesuit order in the region.

Next, we will visit the Tristán del Pozo Mansion, an iconic building in Arequipa's architectural heritage. It is particularly notable for the design of its façade, considered by many to be the finest example of Arequipa's typical ornamentation, with its intricate pediment and volcanic stone details.

We will conclude the tour at the Plaza and Church of San Francisco, one of the most beautiful architectural ensembles in Arequipa. Built in the 17th century, the church is known for its exquisite architecture and its great religious significance, as it is the fourth church and the third religious house in the city.

This tour offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich history, culture, and architecture of Arequipa, a city that harmoniously and captivatingly blends the colonial with the modern. At the end of the tour, we will return to the starting point to conclude this unique experience through the historic center of Arequipa.
