Watch the world pass you by from Arequipa Plaza de Armas. If its well-trodden pathways could talk, this historic town square would have some fascinating stories to tell.

Arequipa Plaza de Armas is a great place to begin your day of discovery in Historical Center. This public square comes recommended by fellow travelers, but it's not the only spot to see here. Pencil in time for other sights like Mall Aventura Porongoche, Arequipa Cathedral, and Parque Lambramani to fully appreciate what the area has to offer.
