Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Arequipa, Peruvian Andes
In the morning, a private transfer will escort you to Lima airport for your flight to Arequipa, Peru's second-largest city nestled in the Peruvian Andes. After freshening up at your hotel, explore the city's second-largest status and stunning views of El Misti volcano. The culinary adventure begins with a visit to Picanterias in Cayma, where you'll savor the local specialty Adobo, a slow-cooked pork dish. Next, travel to Yanahuara to enjoy the Main Plaza's views and "Queso helado," a sweet fresh cheese dessert. Wash it down with "Chicha de Jora," a fermented corn drink. Another Picanteria visit offers more local dishes before a walking tour through the traditional streets to the city center. The grand finale is a unique lunch experience featuring small portions of traditional dishes with explanations from your guide. The afternoon is free to explore highlights like the Santa Catalina Monastery or the Cathedral.
