What to do and see in Arequipa, Arequipa Region: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

February 11, 2022 Leonardo Torrence

In Peru's second-most populous city, aka "The White City," stunning colonial buildings made of pearly sillar stone vie for attention with the surrounding volcanoes and snow-capped peaks of the western Andes. Founded in 1540, it's a smorgasbord of mansions and museums. The top attraction, 215,000-square-foot Santa Catalina Monastery, is like its own city within a city, complete with fountains and cobblestone streets. Arequipa is the favorite base for visiting Colca Canyon and its massive condors.

This is a great experience and professional cooking class in a great kitchen set up!! My husband & I enjoyed ourselves and even though we love to cook, we still learnt new things from Art. He demonstrates each step & then lets you prepare each ingredient and he gives you the recipes to take home. Looking forward to recreating this at home! Wish we would have had more time to do another class with him. I highly recommend this class and I would certainly go again if I come back! Thanks Art!!

We really enjoyed the class with Adrian, he is so passionate and knowledgable about all things chocolate, we’ve taken away a lot of new knowledge and will definitely try to make our own back home, sourcing only the best ingredients! Thank you :)
