Mollendo Day Trip

At 7:40 am, we'll pick you up and set off for Mollendo, a city around 124 miles (100 kilometers) from Arequipa. On the way, we'll pass through the port of Matarani, the most important port in southern Peru.

Upon arriving in Mollendo, we'll explore the unique architecture characterized by old colonial-style mansions and white sandy beaches.

We will take a walk along Comercio Street, where notable buildings from the end of the 19th century are located, a period that marked the city's growth following the arrival of the railway.

We will continue along Mariscal Castilla Avenue, viewing historically significant buildings such as Villa Velásquez, built in 1912, and the Church of the Immaculate Conception, notable for its two-towered vault.

Next, we will visit the Ratti seafront for scenic views of the beaches, pier, Mollendo water park, and the old Forja Castle, which has a twin on the coast of Morocco.

After our exploration, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant. Following lunch, we will return to Arequipa, dropping you off at your hotel around 5:30 pm.
