Framed by three majestic volcanoes, Arequipa is one of Peru’s most beautiful cities. Known as the “White City” for its elegant buildings carved from white volcanic sillar stone, it combines striking architecture, fascinating history and a distinctive regional culture.
Wander through its historic centre, discover the remarkable Santa Catalina Monastery or meet “Juanita”, the famous Inca mummy at the Museum of Andean Sanctuaries. And ofcourse, be sure to make time for Arequipa’s celebrated cuisine!
Beyond the city, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic as the road winds through high-altitude plains inhabited by alpacas, llamas and wild vicuñas towards the spectacular Colca Canyon
One of the world’s deepest canyons, Colca is a place of immense scale and beauty. Watch Andean condors soar effortlessly above the canyon, hike into its depths or explore the traditional villages scattered throughout the surrounding valley. Here, centuries-old customs and everyday Andean life remain closely connected to the extraordinary landscape.
