Holidays in Majes

Done with scrolling through other people's holiday pics while polishing off your brekkie? Then book a getaway to Majes and spend your days among the stunning mountains, active volcanos and tablelands of Arequipa.

It lies 700 kilometres southeast of the nation's capital, Lima.

The nearby localities of Aplao and Quilca are worth your time. They're located 35 kilometres northwest and 50 kilometres south away, respectively. Jump in a car and find out what they're about!

Arequipa, 75 kilometres to the east, is a great day trip. Use it as a port of call when stopping by Santa Catalina Monastery, Arequipa Plaza de Armas and Arequipa Cathedral. If you're still not persuaded, other nearby sights include the National University of St Augustin of Arequipa and Casa Goyeneche.

An exciting way to experience the local landscape is to go on an outdoor adventure. Mountain biking is one of the most popular activities in these parts. But if that doesn't quite take your fancy, there's always mountain climbing.

Shore fishing is an excellent way to take some time out after a few busy days of sightseeing. If you feel like a bit more time in the fresh air, why not arrange to go bird watching as well?

Okay, there's a certain romance to getting lost on your travels, but sometimes you just want to get to where you need to be on the first go. To avoid any blips along the way, sign on for some guided nature walks, city walking tours and culinary tours.

From swimming to rafting, there are many ways to get your hair wet in Arequipa. Just don't forget to bring your sunscreen!

Stroll through the doors of the region's art museums, history museums, palaces and mansions and make the most of all that they have to offer.

Do you feel like you need to spend the day outdoors? Consider planning an adventure to one of the surrounding area's farms and open-air markets.

Get a glimpse of the past with an outing to some close-by traditional villages and old towns. When it comes to understanding the historical significance of these structures, a professional tour guide can make a world of difference.

Would you like to add some deeper meaning to your adventure? Whether you're seeking a spiritual experience or just interested in learning about the local beliefs, swing by some of the surrounding churches, cathedrals and monasteries.

Tantalise your taste buds and fill your Instagram feed with appetising pics by digging into some of the area's most delectable food and drink offerings. Just remember to hashtag 'yum'!

Once you sit down and look over a restaurant menu, you'll quickly notice that chicken and pork are some ingredients commonly used in the local cuisine.

When Majes residents talk about their food, you could hear ceviche (raw fish in lime juice) or chanfainita (beef lung dish) mentioned once or twice. These much-loved dishes are part of the region's identity and should be on any foodie's list.

You're on holiday, so why not tuck into a little mazamorra morada and arroz con leche (purple corn custard and sweetened milk)? It's worth every last calorie!

Feeling a little parched? Wet your whistle with a glass of Arequipeña, a brew that should be on your bucket (or pint) list.

Chicha de Jora (fermented corn-based alcoholic drink) is what most locals have when the night motions for something with more of a kick. Ask the barkeeper for a little taste and see if it tickles your taste buds.

Make use of your transit time by practising some phrases in Spanish. '¿Querría bailar conmigo?' can be translated as 'would you like to dance?'. Another common phrase is 'Mucho gusto Encantado' ('pleased to meet you').

If you're heading to Majes on the 28th of July, get ready to have a ball! Independence Day sees many of the locals getting out and about and celebrating.

Before it's time to say "Hasta la vista" to Majes, check your pockets for any stray change that you can spend on some last-minute mementos.

With a little planning, making it to Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ), the nearest airport, won't be too much trouble. It's 300 kilometres north of downtown Majes.
