Amazing ice cream spot in the middle of the Arequipa market. This place is famous for its Queso Helado, a local dessert from Arequipa. They are the most renowned spot in the entire city, many famous people came to try the ice cream and the place has been around for many years, making it very authentic looking. Do watch out when entering the market, there will be many other queso helado stands trying to win you over before you arrive here.

This was my first time trying queso helado and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I can’t compare it to others, but it was really lovely — sweet, creamy, and refreshing. A great little treat if you’re curious to try something traditional.
