What are you like to travel?
The White City for its buildings in ashlar (volcanic stone white), has one of the most beautiful historical centers of our country. The Cathedral, the Monastery of Santa Catalina (almost a small city with streets and squares built to accommodate the daughters of the most distinguished Spanish families who had a religious vocation), the Andean Sanctuaries Museum of the Catholic University of Santa Maria (where is The Lady of Ampato or Mummy Juanita), are just some of the many places you can not miss, and which confirm the nomination of the center as a cultural heritage of humanity. To see the famous Misti volcano, you may visit the Mirador de Yanahuara and if you have one more day feel encouraged to visit the Colca Canyon and photograph the condors soar. Being in Arequipa is a great opportunity to taste the exquisite cuisine, one of the most popular in the country; stuffed hot pepper and shrimp chowder are just some of the most outstanding dishes.
