Arequipa is based at the foot of El Misti, a snow-clad volcanic mountain at a height of 5822 meters. Nearby is also the deepest canyon in the world (Canyon del Colca) - we didn´t have the time to go to this canyon unfortunately. Arequipa has been known as the white city as most of its colonial buildings are made from sillar, a whitish-colored volcanic rock. Getting around Arequipa was pretty easy--we did a lot of walking and grabbed a few taxies- pretty cheaply, but of coures we did the requisite haggling. |
