El Molino de Sabandía

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

This historic mill was built in 1785, fell into disrepair and was restored two centuries later; it now grinds once again for visitors. The neat grounds, shaded with weeping willows and providing great views of El Misti, are a favorite of picnickers. The mill is located 9km southeast of the Plaza de Armas.

A taxi costs around S15, or get here as part of a four-hour Mirabus tour with Tours Class Arequipa.
