Arequipa's Architecture
The historical center of Arequipa, known as the White City due to its famous buildings of pearl-like sillar rock from the city's surrounding volcanoes, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000. The architecture of its colonial monuments integrates European and native building techniques and ornamentation in a style that has come to be known as mestizo-baroque. Make sure to stop by and witness how light plays off the intricately carved façades with European and pre-Columbian designs.
Colca Canyon
The world's 2nd deepest canyon descends 4,160m. Incan and pre-Incan terraces lining its walls are still in use today, and colcas, the food-storage structures for which this canyon is named, can be seen built into the cliff walls. Colca is a popular destination not just for its humbling immensity and the natural beauty of the river below, but also for its diverse flora and fauna- most famously, the endangered Andean Condor, the world's largest bird of flight, which circle through the canyon.
Volcanoes of Arequipa
Arequipa boasts 3 volcanoes: the conical El Misti (The Gentleman), considered a symbol of the culture and city of Arequipa, Chachani (the Beloved) and Picchu Picchu (Top Top). Climbing Misti, where an expedition found 6 Incan mummies in 1998, wins you incredible views of the surrounding landscape, the White City of Arequipa, and the volcano's crater. Or, grab an ice ax and scale the three snowy peaks of Chachani. Those who'd like a more extreme adventure can bike downhill along their slopes.
Andean Sanctuaries
At the Andean Sanctuary Museum in Arequipa one can find the world-famous Juanita, the Ice Maiden, and the other mummies, Incan artifacts, and valuable seashell, plant and other offerings brought from around the empire and discovered on glacial Mt Amparo. She´s the best-preserved mummy of the Americas and resides in a climate-controlled glass case. She appears to have been sacrificed at 14 years of age somewhere between 1450 and 1530 by a well- aimed clubbing to the head while she was kneeling.
