Arequipa
V!VA User‘s Description
When he arrived in the present-day Arequipa with his army, Inca Mayta Cápac declared ari-que-pay, "yes, stay here". Nearly six centuries later, this oasis of pearly white buildings rising out of the beautiful valley at the base of El Misti volcano, retains its captivating beauty. Arequipa is a stunning town regarded for both its colonial charm and rich cultural heritage. It has, in fact, been declared a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO. Beautiful churches, convents and colonial mansions, perfectly framed by majestic snow-capped mountains, distinguish Arequipa from its larger neighbor, Puno. The town and its mountains draw culture buffs and adventure junkies from around the world.
