Arequipa
For centuries, the "White City" has served as an intellectual bastion and cradle of Peruvian literature and art. But priests and scholars are no strangers to the more earthly delights, and Arequipa is renowned for its distinctive and delicious cuisine. The city is also known as a gateway into the Colca, offering numerous trekking opportunities. The world's second deepest canyon, ringed by pre-Inca agricultural terraces carved into the steep slopes, is circled overhead by majestic condors. |
