They call it the White City because it\u2019s built with <em>sillar<\/em>, a white volcanic stone that gives it a unique look. There are three volcanoes around (Misti, Chachani, Pichu Pichu) that are visible from almost anywhere when the sky is clear.<\/p><p>The Monastery of Santa Catalina is a city within the city. It occupies an entire block, with streets, plazas, cells where the cloistered nuns lived. The walls are painted in intense colors: orange, blue, red. It functioned as a closed convent for 400 years. It only opened to the public in 1970. You can spend hours walking through \u2014 it\u2019s huge.<\/p><p>Arequipa\u2019s food is hearty. The <em>rocoto relleno<\/em> is truly spicy, not a joke. The <em>chupe de camarones<\/em> is a thick soup full of river shrimp. <em>Adobo<\/em> is eaten at breakfast (yes, stewed meat in the morning). It\u2019s strong, rich, full of character food.<\/p><p>The Colca Canyon is the classic trip from Arequipa. You depart around 3 am (yes, early), drive 3\u20134 hours through mountain roads, and arrive at the Cruz del C\u00f3ndor lookout. There, if you\u2019re lucky and the weather cooperates, you see condors flying just meters away. They\u2019re giant, majestic. The canyon is 3,400 meters deep in spots \u2014 twice as deep as the Grand Canyon in Colorado.<\/p><p>Practical tip: To go to Colca you cross a pass at 4,900 m. If you\u2019ve just arrived in Arequipa, wait a day to acclimatize a little. Bring warm clothes because it\u2019s cold in the early morning. The full tour is long but worth it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AREQUIPA AREQUIPA Altitude: 2,335 mClimate: 10\u201325 \u00b0C | Dry, mostly sunny year-round, cold nightsHow to get there: Rodr\u00edguez Ball\u00f3n Airport or bus from Lima (16 hours) \/ Cusco (10 hours) Arequipa is elegant.
