Detailed Itinerary

Our experience shows us the most beautiful side of the city with the most important places such as:

The Yanahuara neighborhood and viewpoint: We can appreciate the old streets and its famous church; This place is frequently visited for the viewpoint from where you can see the entire beautiful valley and the guardian of the entire city, the Misti Volcano.
Paucarpata: It bears its name in Quechua, which when translated means flowery platform, because it is located in the upper part of a mountain and in its descents its agricultural areas supported by stone walls can be seen. It has a fantastic church that when visiting it shows us the wide art that exists.
Sabandia Mill: It is a beautiful and fantastic piece of colonial architecture, it is estimated that it was built in 1621, made from ashlar stone; even after time still today you can see the water still runs through its old channels that keep the mill in an optimal state, today around 800 kilos of grains are still milled. From this point you can see a series of volcanoes such as: Chachani, Misti and Pichupichu.
The Monastery of Santa Catalina: It is one of the main places to visit within the most significant religious constructions of the colonial era of Peru, it was built in the year 1579. The peculiar thing about this place is that when we enter this space we can notice that it looks like a small city, with very colorful streets and cloisters decorated with flowers, with narrow alleys and small rooms well furnished with antique objects.
