  In the morning, you will have a city tour of Arequipa, ´The White City,’ including visits to the Santa Catalina Convent, Juanita Mummy Museum (Museo Santuarios Andinos), the districts of Cayma, Sabandia, and Yanahuara and even enjoy a traditional Arequipeñan lunch. The Santa Catalina Convent is a work of art, made of Colonial architecture and is a very popular complex that encloses a complete world within its walls. Its composition of rooms, little plazas and its own streets are something you really must see. After this visit, we take you to the Juanita Mummy Museum (Museo Santuarios Andinos), which houses the frozen mummy of Juanita and her artifacts. ‘Juanita,’ a young teenage girl that was sacrificed by the Incas to the mountain gods on Ampato Mountain is the most well-known mummy in the Andes due to her remarkable preservation. She can only be seen during the months of May to December, as preservation work is carried out during January to April, when another mummy will be on display. After the museum, the tour will continue to the colonial suburbs of Cayma, Sabandia and Yanahuara, from where you will enjoy nice views of the city and its volcanoes. After lunch we will take you back to your hotel and you have the rest of the day at leisure.
