Tour description
Beyond the familiar postcard attractions, Arequipa also has a bold and creative side. On this walking tour, a local guide will lead you to unconventional neighborhoods, street-art alleys, and modern cultural spaces—places where the city expresses its contemporary identity. This is an Arequipa of muralists, independent creators, and vibrant community energy.
You’ll hunt for striking murals and graffiti, explore a bohemian neighborhood with a free-spirited atmosphere or a revitalized industrial district, and hear stories about the artists, movements, and subcultures shaping the city. Along the way, your guide will share the stories behind each wall and introduce you to the best independent venues. Fresh and full of surprises, this is Arequipa at its most creative.
