Arequipa
Autor, Travelbay
Surely, while searching for information about Arequipa , you have come across the phrase that it is a city situated in the shadow of volcanoes. It is also often called the white city. In both cases, you have a rather guess at the source of both terms. Arequipa is actually located at the foot of the volcanoes (Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu), whose snow-capped peaks dominate the landscape of the area.

Its old town, with 500 colonial-style buildings , is inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List . Many objects were built of white, volcanic rock called sillar. Arequipa also allows for the power of culinary experiences. And all this is due to the numerous, excellent restaurants operating in the very center. The city's surroundings are fertile lands and magnificent valleys. And 100 km northwest of Arequipa is the famous Colca Canyon.
For whom?
Visit Arequipa if you like sightseeing but appreciate the beautiful mountain views at the same time. The city guarantees both. A stroll through the historic center is a one-of-a-kind experience. Fans of trying local flavors will be able to take advantage of the restaurant's rich offer.
