The walk Giardino is an organized half day tour for all those that enjoy small walks around the
country side of our city. We start by visiting the view point of Sachaca, where we will have a
panoramic view of the city and its volcanoes. Then we will continue forward to the Mansion del
Fundador (Founder’s house), enormous colonial style house that belonged to the Arequipa
founder and now is an opened museum to the public. This visit allows us to appreciate the
colonial art of that epoch. Finished the visit we will continue towards the Sabandía area, in this
place we leave our transport and begin our walk taking us from Sabandía to Yumina area.
On the route we will observe many terraces cultivated by the owner “chacareros” (How
farmers here are called). We will walk approximately one hour along a picturesque and fresh
route where also it is possible not only to appreciate farmer’s work but to take contact with
the local people as well.
We take a short rest and begin to walk up to a hill that will be a perfect place to have a view of
the total area. (Terraces, Yumina and Characato towns, small hills and the volcanoes of
Arequipa) After a time we’ll return to our transport and drive to the Mill of Sabandía, where
we’ll have our Picnic.
After the Picnic we will return to our Hotel.
