Arequipa is part of Peru but at the same time it is not. According to the Limeños, Arequipa is another country. And the Arequipenos pretty much agree on that! :)
But because of one of those ironies from destiny, they were gathered together in the same country! And it feel really nice to be in Arequipa, the sun was shinning, the food was excellent and the people very happy!!
(Calm down Limeños, you city is also extraordinary but with your own identity :p)
The three mountains around Arequipa form a strong landscape, almost impossible not to refer to them when taking pictures. Arequipa is also called the White City because of the frequent utilization of volcanic stone in the buildings. But I believe this is just possible because the air is extremelly dry there, therefore, helping to conserve it. You can see all the pictures here!
