    Great tour, very educational experience

    Everything was great and very educational — I learned a lot throughout the tour. The guide explained everything clearly and made the experience enjoyable. The only small thing is that I wish the ATV ride was a little longer and covered a slightly bigger area. But for 15 soles, honestly, I can’t complain. Overall, definitely worth it and I would recommend it.

    Great countryside tour of Arequipa

    Nice tour of different parts of Arequipa, beautiful places to take pictures, our tour included lunch at this nice restaurant with tasty authentic food. I like that they tell you up front the separate things you have to pay for, and it’s optional if you want to do them or not.

    Lovely escape to the countryside

    I couldn't see the meeting point after booking so I contacted the company via WhatsApp and they responded immediately to confirm (it is on Calle Zela beings the monastery, opposite Mirador del Monasterio Hotel) and also provided the seat number. The actual bus company is Tours Panorámico VIP (orange buses), our guide Linda was great, really friendly and knowledgeable. The upper deck is semi open and there were not too many people which made the journey more enjoyable. We left Arequipa around 12pm and headed to our first stop in Yanahuara where we had about 15 minutes to admire the view from the plaza and take pictures. Then we went to the Carmen Alto viewpoint, entrance is 5 soles and well worth it as not only is the view stunning but adorable baby alpacas are grazing nearby which made my day. Then we went to the Incalpaca shop and farm, it's really worth it when they have discounts and you get to see more alpacas! Next stop was at a restaurant on the way to La mansión del Fundador (about one hour break). After the mansion (ticket costs 10 soles) we headed to Sabandia where you have a choice of different activities: visit the windmill for 10 soles, or canopy, horseback riding and quad /ATV for 15 soles. Again there were cute baby alpacas there. On the way back to Arequipa we stopped briefly in Paucarpata to the Ménélik museum. We were back at Plaza de Armas around 6:30pm. It was a great day, lots of stops and things to see, well worth the money.

    Countryside

    It was a beautiful countryside, Yanahuara and the observatory view were great but we did too many stops and when we got to Los molinos Sabandia it was about to close

    I had only a few days in town and this tour was perfect to explore Arequipa city and know the history.

    Countryside Tour Arequipa: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.

    How much does Countryside Tour Arequipa cost?

    +

    Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arequipa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Countryside Tour Arequipa take?

    +

    Plan for about 0 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arequipa is not rushed.

    Is Countryside Tour Arequipa worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Countryside Tour Arequipa?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Countryside Tour Arequipa suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Countryside Tour Arequipa?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arequipa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arequipa and add a light layer if any part of the 0-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Countryside Tour Arequipa start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arequipa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Arequipa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Arequipa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arequipa Rafting on the Chili river free pick-up,snack., 2 Day 1 Night Trek Colca Canyon, Chili River White Water Rafting Adventure with Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Arequipa?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Arequipa?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

Not included: Entrance to the Mirador de Carmen Alto S / 3.00; Entrance to the Sabandia Mill S / 10.00; Horse Ride S / 10.00; and Entrance to the Founder's Command S / 12.00.

    +
