This half-day tour takes you along the countryside outside Arequipa. You will get pleasure from the nice farmlands and observe the typical agriculture terraces of the pre-Inca and Inca epochs. In the middle of the green fields you`ll find Molino de Sabandia, a charming 17th century flour mill, made of sillar (volcanic rock), powered by a neighboring waterfall, and the Founder's Mansion, a fully restored XVI century hacienda that belonged to the city's founder. Then it was sold to the Jesuits, who used it as a retreat center. You will also visit its beautiful fully restored church.
Please note:The visit to the Founder`s Mansion can be substituted for a visit to the exhibit of the mummy Juanita. Visit the Museo Santuarios Andinos Universidad Catolica Santa Maria-Cervesur to see Juanita, the frozen mummy of a young Inca girl, discovered in 1995 on Mt. Ampato. Juanita died more than 500 years ago, a sacrificial offering to the Inca gods. Her body was preserved by the freezing temperatures on the mountain, and is kept in a refrigerated case in the museum.

Nicknamed the "white city", Arequipa is surrounded by spectacular mountains, including the volcano El Misti. A feature of the city is its many beautiful buildings made of a light-colored volcanic rock called sillar. The Colca Canyon, arguably the world's deepest canyon, is a favorite of outdoors enthusiasts who come to see giant condors, climb volcanoes, go river rafting, and its great climate is perch more than 300 days a year of sunshine, blue skies and low humidity.
Colca Valley
An area of astounding scenic beauty, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. A land of imposing snowcapped volcanoes, artistically terraced slopes, narrow gorges, arid desert landscapes and vegetation and remote traditional villages. Dispersed across the Colca Valley, there are 14 colonial area-villages dating from the 16th century with richly decorated churches. You can spend time here soaking the extraordinary beauty, like simply seeing the majestic, giant condors soar, and or enjoying the outdoor adventure sports like hiking, and river rafting.
