Loncco Route Tour

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Arequipa at 6:30 am and start the tour along the Loncco Route. You'll see natural landscapes and lesser-known places in Peru. The first stop will be the town of Quequeña, where we will visit the Martyrs' Museum and the petroglyphs of Guayalopo and Curlaca, which are over 1500 years old.

As we proceed, we will learn about the Loncco, a traditional Arequipeño character. Our journey continues to the Soncomarca Hill viewpoint for impressive views of the Arequipa terraces and an optional visit to the church of Quequeña. We'll head to Sogay's picturesque square, known for its ashlar houses overlooking the Yarabamba River.

Next, we'll visit the Uzuña lagoon in Polobaya, where activities such as boat trips, kayaking, or sport fishing are available. After that, you will have free time for lunch.

Our tour continues to Mollebaya, where we will walk through its historical center and communal batán. We’ll also visit Characato and its square and church with water springs. Finally, we'll explore the notable places in Sabandía, including the church of the Virgen del Rosario and the 17th-century mill.

The tour will conclude upon our return to Arequipa at approximately 5 pm, near the Plaza de Armas.
