The Arequipa region, located in the southern part of Peru, is characterized by the second deepest canyon in the world, exquisite traditional dishes that offer extraordinary gastronomic experiences, a unique cultural heritage and many other natural beauties.
For pisco lovers, the flagship drink of Peru, the Ruta del Pisco is not to be missed when visiting the 22 wineries along this route.
There are 3 options to reach the Ruta del Pisco: to the north, through the valleys of Camaná and CaravelÃ; in the center through the Majes Valley; and to the south, through the valleys of La Joya, Santa Rita de Siguas and VÃtor. The latter is the closest to the historic center of Arequipa, the capital of the region that bears the same name and situated just an hour and a half away.
Along the way you will have the opportunity to learn about the ancient traditions and to taste different types of Pisco made from different varieties of grapes: negra criolla, italia, moscatel, torontel, quebranta and mollar.
