Yanahuara
City Walk
V!VA User‘s Description
Sporting stone archways and magnificent views of El Misti, the lovely neighborhood of Yanahuara is a great place for a relaxing afternoon stroll. The 18th century Iglesia San Juan Bautista (Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - noon, 4 p.m. - 8 p.m., Saturday - Sunday, 7 a.m. - 1 p.m., 3 p.m. - 8 p.m.) is also worth a look. With walls that are nearly two meters thick and an exquisitely carved façade, the church is one of the best examples of mestizo art in Peru. Be sure to check out the carved cherubim, a pre-hispanic symbol of power that was outlawed in Peru during colonial times. When you've seen enough of the church, hop in a taxi (or walk if you prefer) and head towards the Mirador de Carmen Alto, which has spectacular views of all the nearby volcanoes, Arequipa, and an abandoned Spanish sillar quarry.
