Located in the southern Peruvian highlands, Arequipa is Peru's second city in urban and economic development.

The Convent of Santa Catalina, opened to the public in 1970 after 400 years of cloistered religious life, is the most characteristic feature of the city, followed by the Sabandia Mill, the Founder's Mansion, the Main Square and - among other things - the beautiful countryside surrounded by snow capped mountains.

Colca Canyon, some 150 kilometers from the city, is one of the most beautiful sites in the Peruvian highlands. Enjoy the world's second deepest canyon after Cotahuasi canyon that is also in Peru, and visit the small towns and villages that maintain their ancestral customs even today, as well as beautiful Colonial homes, churches carved in white volcanic stone, the Valley of Dwarf Volcanoes, stone carvings, llamas, alpacas, condors, thermal baths, etc. A highly recommended and unique experience.
