V!VA User‘s Description

In Southern Peru, Arequipa and the Colca Canyon offers plenty to keep travelers occupied for several days, with spectacular scenery, fascinating history and a large number of outdoor activities to boot. Arequipa itself is held in high regard for both its colonial charm and rich cultural heritage, and is a designated UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. Beautiful churches, convents and colonial mansions, perfectly framed by majestic snow-capped mountains, set Arequipa aside from its neighbors. The town and its mountains draw culture buffs and adventure junkies from around the world.
