🇵🇪 Arequipa, Peru

Nicknamed “the White City” for its colonial buildings made of sillar (light-colored volcanic stone).

Arequipa stands out for its UNESCO-listed historic center and its spectacular setting, surrounded by several volcanoes including the imposing Misti.

A calmer vibe than Lima, and a great base for treks to Colca Canyon.

The full story (detailed budgets, tips, itinerary) is coming soon. In the meantime, if you have questions about Arequipa, write to us: romain.steph@ourlifeabroad.com
