About this tour
Discover the historical essence of Arequipa with our
exciting sightseeing tour. We will take care of picking you up from your hotel,
located in the picturesque historic center of the city. From
there, we will head towards the fascinating San Camilo Market, just
a few blocks away from the iconic Plaza de Armas.
This traditional market, with infrastructure dating back to
1938, has a captivating history. Initially, it was built as the San
Camilo de Lelis church in 1817 by the Red Cross order. After the
devastating earthquake of 1868, the market was abandoned and, for many years,
it served as a military hospital and school. The San Camilo Market is a witness
to Arequipa historical events and has become an integral part of its legacy.
This place was designed by the famous French architect Gustave
Eiffel and was declared a Monumental Historical Heritage site
in 1987.
For approximately one hour, we will enjoy an exciting
walking tour of this charming place. The market is vast, and you will have the
opportunity to admire a wide variety of fresh products, such
as exquisite fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and meats, typical Peruvian.
Additionally, you can explore the herbalist section, where you
will learn about natural medicines and their benefits.
You cannot miss the opportunity to taste the authentic
flavors of Arequipa at the typical food stalls you will find
in the market. Delight yourself with emblematic dishes such as rocoto
relleno and adobo (optional), while immersing yourself in the culinary
richness of the region. And, of course, you cannot leave without trying the
delicious traditional desserts, such as the famous queso helado.
At the end of our tour of the San Camilo Market in
