Highlights

Arequipa´s half-day hike was especially created for hiker lovers and to discover the greatest Arequipa's countryside, located just 45min away from the city center. This half-day hike includes a great time to disconnect you from the noise and stresful of the city, to encounter with nature, with nice farming people, and enjoy a suitable hike designed for young and adult people. Thanks to the strong Spanish influence today Characato district is a great reference of pride as known as "Los Characatos". Why to hike in Characato? por que este lugar fue el primer asentamiento para los conquistadores españoles (June 24, 1541). Considered the first spanairs town in Arequipa region. "Hiking Through The Past Of Arequipa". As a freindly and laboriuos people from Characato, they offers a great alternative to taste the true flavor of the culinary art in Arequipa at the local restaurants as known as "Picanterias".

About Arequipa

Arequipa, in southern Peru, is a white-stone colonial city beneath the cone of El Misti volcano, close to the deep Colca Canyon.

Arequipa lies at about 2,300 metres in the dry southern Andes, with the cone of El Misti volcano rising above it and Chachani and Pichu Pichu on either side. Its centre is built from sillar, a light volcanic stone that has earned it the name of the White City. The Plaza de Armas has arcades, palms and the cathedral, whose façade stretches the full length of one side.
