Why take a guided city tour in Arequipa?  

The historic center of the city of Arequipa was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a city with a unique historical and cultural legacy in the world. While walking through the city is a feast for your eyes, it becomes even more fascinating when you learn the details of its history. Therefore, exploring it with an expert tour guide is the best option.

How long does the walking tour of Arequipa last? 

The guided tour lasts for 4 hours. This time is sufficient to visit the points mentioned in the itinerary.

Why is a walking tour the best option to explore Arequipa?  

This is because the streets of the historic center are narrow, and some areas are restricted to vehicles, so certain zones can only be accessed on foot. The guided tour is designed to visit points of interest along the way, so there are no long walks without breaks. Every 200 meters, you'll find a new point of interest, and we will pause for the guide to explain it, allowing you to rest.

What is the best time of year to visit Arequipa?  

The best time to visit Arequipa is usually from March to November. Arequipa is known as the "City of the Sun," so you can expect good weather. In December, January, and February, it tends to rain and be cloudy, making this period ideal for those who prefer to avoid intense sun.
