Food plays as much of a part in luxury Peru tours as any other part of the country's culture, especially for those who head to the city of Arequipa.

As would be expected from a city of this size, there are many great eateries to be explored, such as Zig Zag Restaurant.

Diners can expect to receive a range of different cuisines, including everything from local Peruvian dishes to Swiss delicacies.

Chicha por Gaston Acurio also comes with high acclaim from past visitors, as it is praised for the quality of its food and the atmosphere that surrounds it.

Zingaro and Cafe y Vino are also well worth a look by anyone staying in the area.

There are a number of luxury hotels in Arequipa to check into after an exceptional meal, such as Casa Andina Private Collection, which is a national historic monument in its own right.
