You will start your tour at the Museum of Andean Sanctuaries where you will visit the Juanita Mummy, a 14-year-old daughter of an Inca dignitary mummified by cold winds of Arequipa. She was found at the snow-capped Ampato Mount in 1995 and was exhibited at the National Geographic Society in Washington D.C. You will then continue your tour to the Main Square, known as one of the most beautiful squares in Peru because it was built of sillar (white volcanic rock) and features carved arches. The square is located next to the impressive Arequipa Cathedral, built in the 17th century and fully rebuilt after several earthquakes. You will then visit the Church of the Society of Jesus (1590), considered a classic example of the local baroque architecture, which houses an exceptional collection of paintings and murals.
