Moreover, Arequipa lies in the shadow of three volcanoes among which the Misti, an active volcano of 5.820 metres high, stands out and gives a unique image of this city.

\/><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">Arequipa Peru @unsplush <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plaza-de-Armas\"><\/span>Plaza de Armas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main square of Arequipa is an example of ashlar architecture, exquisitely executed. But, undoubtedly, the best thing about this square is not its buildings, nor the palm trees that grow here and there, nor the fountain in its centre. The best thing is that it is the place where many of the locals of this area sit to chat and enjoy the day,&nbsp;&nbsp;and for that reason it is also worth sitting down for a while just to watch life go by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Arequipa-Cathedral\"><\/span>Arequipa Cathedral<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The cathedral is one of those responsible for Arequipa being known as &#8220;the white city&#8221; as it is built with ignimbrite, the stone of volcanic origin that gives colour to the city. First, in 1541 local people built a church. Then, on the foundations of the colonial temple there was built a cathedral, which was completed in 1656. It was the victim of earthquakes, collapses and fires. The one in 1844 was so devastating that it had to be rebuilt and reborn in neoclassical style, which is what we see today. Its interior is remarkable for its Belgian organ, its Carrara marble, its Seville lamp and its French pulpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Convent-of-Santa-Catalina\"><\/span>The Convent of Santa Catalina<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To be honest, the Convent of Santa Catalina deserves a whole report exclusively for it. For its beauty, its size and its interest. But to give you an idea, the convent is more like a city within a city, a citadel that for four centuries lived isolated from the rest of the world by its high walls. It was founded in 1579 by Do\u00f1a Mar\u00eda de Guzm\u00e1n, occupies 20,000 square metres. The Convent was mainly inhabited by Creole nuns from wealthy families and their maids. Its narrow streets, which are painted in different colours and adorned with flowers, take us back to Spain, to Andalusia to be precise. Today the few remaining nuns live in a small area and tourists can visit the rest, so we can see their old houses, squares, cloisters, kitchens, laundries, vegetable gardens and bakeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-viewpoint-of-Yanahuara\"><\/span>The viewpoint of Yanahuara<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Arequipa is worth seeing from above, and if it&#8217;s with Misti in the background, all the better. A good place to do this is the Yanahuara viewpoint, a 25-minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. But of course, you have to be aware that you have to go up, up and up. In a neighbourhood of small, charming houses, a square and arches provide a viewpoint over the city, with views of the Andean mountain range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-market-of-San-Camilo\"><\/span>The market of San Camilo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re going to buy something or not, a visit to the San Camilo market is a must. Some cities are known for their markets, and this is one of them. It&#8217;s risky to say it&#8217;s the most beautiful in all of Peru, but it&#8217;s certainly spectacular. The aisles of fruit and vegetables are a veritable feast of colours, smells and flavours, with high stalls. It&#8217;s the perfect place to sip a freshly squeezed juice and enjoy it while chatting with the shopkeepers and stallholders who bring the market to life every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-things-to-do-around-Arequipa-Peru\"><\/span>What things to do around Arequipa Peru?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-attachment-id=\"21575\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/peru\/things-to-do-in-arequipa-peru\/attachment\/things-to-do-in-arequipa-colca-canyon\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,768\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Things to do in Arequipa Colca Canyon\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Thinngs to do in Arequipa: Colca Canyon&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?fit=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?fit=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Thinngs to do in Arequipa Colca Canyon\" class=\"wp-image-21575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?resize=800%2C600&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?resize=400%2C300&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Things-to-do-in-Arequipa-Colca-Canyon.jpeg?resize=200%2C150&amp;ssl=1 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">Things to do in Arequipa: Colca Canyon @unsplush<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ashlar-quarries\"><\/span>Ashlar quarries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sillar, a white volcanic stone, is the origin and main characteristic of Arequipa&#8217;s architecture. The visitors can access the quarries of sillar through a tourist route that starts from Cerro Colorado and shows, among limpid natural landscapes, the process of extraction, carving and&nbsp; mega carving of this stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 2 000 metres covering the quarries in exploitation, Cortadores and Virgen Culebrillas; a route that tells us the reason for the beauty of the White City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Petroglyphs-of-Toro-Muerto\"><\/span>Petroglyphs of Toro Muerto<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in the Arequipa province of Castilla, very close to the Majes River and in an arid environment, Toro Muerto is considered one of the greatest examples of rock art in the world.

Here you can admire condors flying in their natural habitat and soak up nature in the Pampa Ca\u00f1ahuas National Reserve. The region is one of the best places for canoeing, and if you&#8217;re an adventure lover you can climb to the peak and snow-capped crater of the Misti and Chachani volcanoes, and there are some extraordinary trekking circuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-do-in-Arequipa-Peru-in-one-day\"><\/span><meta charset=\"utf-8\">What to do in Arequipa Peru in one day<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Plaza de Armas<\/li><li>The Cathedral of Arequipa<\/li><li>The Convent of Santa Catalina<\/li><li>The viewpoint of Yanahuara<\/li><li>The market of San Camilo<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-to-see-in-Arequipa-Peru-in-two-days\"><\/span>What to see in Arequipa Peru in two days<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Plaza de Armas<\/li><li>The Cathedral of Arequipa<\/li><li>The Convent of Santa Catalina<\/li><li>The viewpoint of Yanahuara<\/li><li>The market of San Camilo<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Second day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sillar quarries<\/li><li>Colca Canyon<\/li><li>Petroglyphs of Toro Muerto<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-Arequipa-Peru\"><\/span>How to get to Arequipa Peru<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most frequent ways to get to Arequipa are by&nbsp;air&nbsp;or by&nbsp;land.
