Molino de Sabandía - Arequipa
(Sabandía Mill) Constructed in 1785, it represents the typical architecture of the zone where the use of sillar stone predominates. It is characterized by solid supports and rustic balconies. Stone grinding wheel techniques for wheat processing can be viewed here as well. Restored in 1973. Located in Sabandía 8 km / 5 miles from Arequipa City (20 minutes by car). Admission 9 am to 5 pm. City of Sabandia: Wide terraces and three volcanoes, the Misti, Chachani, and Pichu Pichu, provide the scenery around this traditional town. Some of the houses still preserve characteristic styles of the Viceroyalty or of the nineteenth century Republicanism. A recreational area with two swimming pools that use the cold river waters of the surrounding region has been built.
