When planning a trip, whether within the country or abroad, we always look for references from tourist places and establishments where we can learn more about their culture and traditions. Clearly, one of the aspects we consider is where we will eat, if we want to try the typical food or make sure with dishes that we don't change for anything of the world. For those who are about to start a new adventure, this curious fact will interest them. It was shared on the social network Tiktok and has quickly become a viral video, receiving hundreds of reactions and comments.
First we have to locate ourselves in Arequipa, known as “The White City” of Peru. This destination is not only rich in culture, but also in gastronomy. One of its main attractions is the Misti, one of the seven active volcanoes that the national territory has. Those looking to save a couple of coins on their trip, this advice will be of great help.
A tiktoker living in the south of the country shared one of his favorite huariques where a person can eat with less than 5 soles. This one took a tour to show the location and dishes of food that can be found and are for sale.
Before we continue, we explain what huarique means. This is a term that Peruvians use to refer to places where you can eat well, at a good price and in a home environment. These are those secret corners that consumers go to by tradition. They are not easily seen, so it has a specific clientele. In addition, you can access it by recommendations from friends or family. Others define them as crouches and in the country there are also the popular “tents” that are installed on public roads to offer menus.

Among the messages they left him, many criticized the value of what was consumed, stating that “cheap can be expensive”. Others indicated that in destinations such as Puno you can find dishes at that price and well served.
They have asked the tiktoker to continue showing huariques where you can get lunch at an affordable price and that can be accessed without complications.
