Suitable for all abilities - Half Day Tour
This is a fabulous way to see the outskirts of Arequipa. We have good mix of city life and the countryside surrounding. If you were thinking of visiting these outskirts anyway why not see them in a clearer and more interactive way by cycling there? We will go on a tour skirting the “White City” and will visit all of the conventional tourist attractions: Mansion del Foundador, Carmen Alto viewpoint, Church and viewpoint of Yanahuara, Sachaca viewing tower, Molino de Sabandia and the terraces of Paucarpata. The route we take is approximately 32km long but we can extend or contract it in order to take in any other places that you particularly want to visit. We will see fine examples of colonial architecture constructed using the local volcanic stone (Sillar) and take in the best views of the city and the surrounding area. Come with us and get a spectacular look at this beautiful city and Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu. its three great sentinels!.
