Arequipa Car Rental Mini Guide

Car Hire in Arequipa: Navigating the White City of Peru

Arequipa, also known as the "White City" due to its stunning baroque buildings made from white volcanic stone, is one of Peru's most treasured destinations. Nestled in the Andean foothills, Arequipa boasts a mix of colonial history, vibrant culinary scenes, and breathtaking landscapes like the Colca Canyon. Hiring a car in this captivating city offers a unique chance to experience its beauty at your own pace.

Benefits of Hiring a Car in Arequipa:

  1. Convenience: While public transportation is available, having a personal vehicle gives you the autonomy to explore far-flung sites without being tied to a bus schedule.

  2. Road Conditions: Roads within Arequipa's city limits are generally well-maintained. However, if venturing to more remote areas, be prepared for rugged terrains, making a 4x4 vehicle a popular choice.

  3. Tolls: Toll booths are occasionally encountered on major highways. It's advisable to have some Peruvian soles on hand for these instances.

  4. Traffic: The city center can be bustling during peak hours, and narrow streets can be a challenge. However, with patience and awareness, driving in Arequipa can be a rewarding experience.

  5. Recommended Attractions and Routes:

    • Santa Catalina Monastery: This historic complex offers a deep dive into Arequipa's colonial past.
    • Colca Canyon: About a 4-hour drive from the city, this is one of the world's deepest canyons and offers a haven for trekking and bird-watching.
    • Misti Volcano: The emblem of the city, a trip to the base or a hike up the volcano is for the adventurous traveler.
    • Sabandía Mill: A mere 20-minute drive will take you to this picturesque mill set amid terraced fields.
  6. Weather and Car Choice: Arequipa boasts a fairly temperate and dry climate, with rainy seasons between January and March. Depending on your planned activities, a compact car is great for city exploration, but for trips to the canyon or other rugged terrains, a sturdy SUV is recommended.

Booking Early: Arequipa is a favorite destination for many travelers to Peru. To avoid the disappointment of limited choices, especially during peak tourist seasons, book your car rental well in advance.

Conclusion: With its rich history, architectural wonders, and natural beauty, Arequipa beckons for exploration. Hiring a car provides the freedom to uncover the city's hidden gems and venture beyond to the sweeping landscapes of the Peruvian Andes. Embark on an unforgettable journey through the White City and its surrounding wonders, crafting memories that will last a lifetime.
