Mercado San Camilo
After meeting at the starting point located in San Camilo Market, you will begin a walking tour of this emblematic place. The infrastructure of this traditional market underwent several renovations following the earthquakes that struck the city of Arequipa. Discover the fascinating history that surrounds the construction of the market, a hidden treasure full of transformations. In 1817, the Red Cross Order erected this magnificent church, but its history extends beyond its religious function. After the devastating earthquake of 1868, this emblematic building reinvented itself, becoming a military hospital that provided assistance to those in need during times of crisis. Years later, it changed into a school, educating and leaving an indelible mark on the community. In addition to admiring a wide variety of products such as fruits, vegetables, groceries, meats, cheeses, and many more things, here you can taste delicious local fruits.
