AREQUIPA<br />
It is not Possible that you visit Cuzco and<br />
Machupicchu avoiding Peru’s second-largest<br />
city "Arequipa". This city belongs to the<br />
highlights of Peru and with good reason!<br />
It is guarded by three dramatic volcanoes, the<br />
Misti, Chachani and Pichu pichu. Also has a<br />
great architecture that is a formidable<br />
ensemble of baroque-mestizo buildings<br />
grafted out of the local white rock called<br />
“sillar”, that has so far withstood most of what<br />
Mother Earth has thrown at it. The historic<br />
center of Arequipa spans an area of 332<br />
hectares and is a UNESCO World Heritage<br />
site since 2000.<br />
Also Arequipa has played a fundamental role in<br />
Peru’s gastronomic renaissance; classic spicy<br />
dishes such as Rocoto relleno, Chupe de<br />
camarones, Cuy Chactao (Fried Guinea pig)<br />
and Ocopa Arequipena, are some of them to<br />
be mentioned.<br />
Arequipeños are also a proud people fond of<br />
intellectual debate, especially about their fervent<br />
political beliefs, which find voice through regular<br />
demonstrations in the Plaza de Armas. Not<br />
surprisingly the city has produced one of Latin<br />
America’s most influential novelists, Mario<br />
Vargas Llosa.<br />
In addition to its beautiful beaches in the<br />
summer season (January to March) Arequipa<br />
city is also the door for many interesting<br />
excursions around the region, one of the most<br />
popular are the visit of the the Colca canyon,<br />
enormous but dwarfed by the glaciers and<br />
volcanoes on either side of the valley; with<br />
more distant but deeper, the Cotahuasi<br />
Canyon, or the Valley of the Volcanoes.
