Imagine walking down streets with names like “Ataúd” [Coffin], Siete Culebras [Seven Serpents], and “Arpías” [Harpies]. In these streets time seems to have stopped, each corner offers a piece of history, and the stones are still alive because they have survived intact.

Volcan Misti, Arequipa

Arequipa

Arequipa is the second largest city in Peru, although it may not seem like it with its quaint shops and cobblestone streets. The white stone used in the construction of the city’s buildings, such as the white stone Basilica Cathedral in the historic center, has given Arequipa its nickname as the white city. See the El Misti volcano as a backdrop in this city full of great food and rich history.
