Arequipa Vacations
Arequipa’s gleaming white colonial buildings stand out against the volatile beauty of the El Misti volcano, its cone framed by the baroque flamboyance of the grand cathedral. Constructed by the Spanish from white volcanic sillar stone, the city is a treasure trove of baroque architecture and a jumping off point for trips into the dramatic landscape of the Colca Canyon.
Mediate in the silence of the serene cloisters of the Santa Catalina convent and explore the fine colonial architecture of the city before heading out into the surrounding countryside for a more exhilarating activity, with white water rafting and mountain biking through this volcanic landscape.
