AREQUIPA: THE WHITE CITY

Arequipa, affectionately known as the White City, captivates with its stunning colonial architecture, with buildings and houses crafted from sillar, a radiant white volcanic rock. Nestled at the base of the imposing Chachani, Pichu Pichu, and Misti volcanoes, Arequipa offers a backdrop of awe-inspiring natural beauty.

The city is adorned with districts of unique charm, such as Sabandía, Tiabaya, and Tingo Distrito, each offering a myriad of places to explore. Complementing the visual feast is Arequipa’s gastronomy, a culinary delight that enhances any visit to this splendid region.

The Colca Canyon, the region’s crown jewel, lies just four hours from the city. This breathtaking natural wonder allows visitors to immerse themselves in unparalleled scenic vistas, ancient Incan terraces that remain in use today, and the awe-inspiring sight of the Andean condor soaring majestically, captivating both locals and travelers alike.
