First timers in Arequipa! - Caro was such a wonderful guide! She met us on time and was very enthusiastic about showing us around the city. We walked through the local market and tried some new fruits. We also walked to different neighborhoods where we tried more food, drinks and the famous cheese ice cream. It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon exploring Arequipa.
