Peruvian Food in Arequipa

I have mentioned the Arequipa region before, because it is a beautiful area for sightseeing. Just as each region of Peru offers different scenery, the food in each area is different based on the specific native ingredients that grow there and the traditions of the people. In Arequipa, you can try the food at restaurants called picanterias, where food is warmed on a firewood cooker. A great dish to try in Arequipa is Rocoto Relleno, or stuffed hot peppers. Peru is home to many different varieties of hot pepper, and this dish is a delicious way to try some. You can also try Chicharrones in Arequipa, which are pieces of deep-fried pork. You can easily take a flight to Arequipa from Lima, so include this fascinating area in your travel plans – you won’t regret it.
