Exploring the Majestic Basilica Cathedral of Arequipa

Getting There

• Walking

  If you are starting from the main square, Plaza de Armas, simply walk towards the center of the plaza where the Basilica Cathedral of Arequipa is located. The cathedral is hard to miss, with its stunning facade and towering bell towers. As you approach, you will see the entrance to the cathedral, which is usually bustling with tourists and locals alike.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  If you are coming from further away, you can take a local bus that heads towards the Plaza de Armas. Look for buses that have 'Centro' or 'Plaza de Armas' as part of their route name. Get off at the Plaza de Armas stop. After disembarking, walk towards the center of the plaza, and you will find the Basilica Cathedral of Arequipa right in front of you.

• Taxi

  For a more comfortable option, you can take a taxi. Simply hail a taxi from your location and tell the driver to take you to 'Plaza de Armas.' The fare will typically be reasonable, and you can expect to be dropped off right at the plaza, where the Basilica Cathedral will be directly in front of you.

• Bicycle

  If you prefer to explore Arequipa on a bicycle, you can rent one from local shops. Head towards Plaza de Armas by following the main roads. Once you reach the plaza, park your bike in a designated area, and walk towards the cathedral, which will be prominently located at the center.
