Half-day private, French-speaking walking tour of Arequipa, including Santa Catalina Monastery
The tour first crosses San Lazaro, Arequipa's most traditional neighbourhood, known for its picturesque cobbled lanes, then passes Fundo del Fierro, an old patrician house where you can discover local craftsmanship. The route continues to the church and monastery of San Francisco, one of the city's finest buildings, then to the striking Plaza de Armas, where elegant arcades rival the cathedral and the Church of the Society of Jesus. The visit ends at the Santa Catalina Monastery, a small town within the city, with narrow streets lined with ochre, blue and white houses, squares and fountains — a setting reminiscent of distant Andalusia.
