What to eat?

Arequipa has a variety of good restaurants. Its picanterías, where the famous gastronomy can be enjoyed, are outstanding. As well as its traditional chupes (different kind of soups), there are dishes such as rocoto relleno (a stuffed pepper), soltero de queso (a cheese salad), ocopa (potatoes with a spicy, nu y and creamy sauce) and, on Sundays, adobo arequipeño (a pork marinade). As a dessert, queso helado (milk ice cream) is recommended.

Not-to-be-missed, is a visit to the San Camilo Market, where delicious cheeses and breads are to be found.

What to buy?

Arequipa was well-known in colonial times for producing embossed leather reins and saddles. This tradition continues today, on belts, furniture and stationery. The sillar stone, which covers the city in white, is worked by craftsman who carve out decorative articles. The Arequipeños are also skilled in wrought iron work. Those with a taste for sweets should not overlook the famous Arequipa's chocolates and desserts.

What to see?

Arequipa Province The Main Square

The square is surrounded by the Cathedral and three granite portals with curved ceilings of brick and lime (the Municipal Portal, the San Agustín Portal and the Flores Portal). In the center is a bronze fountain topped with the figure of “Tuturutu”, a 16th century soldier whose job was to bring news.

Built from sillar stone between 1621 and 1656, the Cathedral was one of the city’s first religious monuments. Following a fire in 1844 and an earthquake in 1868, Lucas Poblete was placed in charge of its reconstruction. Bishop José Sebastián de Goyeneche restored and embellished the Cathedral, with the help of his family. In 1850, the bishop decorated the interior with treasures and fine objects made by Francisco de Moratilla, the silversmith from the court of Isabel II. The 12 meter high organ (whose music can be enjoyed on Saturdays) and the wooden sculptures of the twelve apostles, are all features.
