Santa Catalina Monastery
Arequipa
A walled colonial convent covering nearly an entire city block, founded in 1579 and closed to the outside world for almost 400 years until it opened to visitors in 1970. Its narrow cobbled streets and vividly painted cloisters, built from Arequipa's own white volcanic sillar stone, make it one of the most photographed religious sites in South America.
2
Plaza de Armas de Arequipa
Arequipa
The city's central square, framed by the twin-towered Basílica Cathedral and colonial arcades carved from sillar stone. Part of Arequipa's UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic center, it remains the natural starting point for exploring the White City on foot.
3
Colca Canyon
Arequipa
Among the deepest canyons in the world, with published depths ranging from about 3,270 to 4,160 metres depending on the source, well over the roughly 1,800-metre depth of the USA's Grand Canyon. Traditional highland villages line its terraced slopes, and the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint offers real chances to watch Andean condors ride the morning thermals.
4
Museum of Andean Sanctuaries (Juanita Museum)
Arequipa
Home to Juanita, the preserved Inca 'Ice Maiden' mummy discovered on the summit of nearby Ampato volcano in 1995. Believed to have been a ritual offering roughly 500 years ago, her remains and the artifacts found with her are displayed alongside exhibits on Inca high-altitude ceremonial sites.
5
Yanahuara & Mirador de Yanahuara
Arequipa
A colonial district built from pale sillar stone, best known for the arched viewpoint at its 18th-century church square, where sculpted volcanic-stone arches frame views of El Misti volcano towering over the city.
At roughly 7,660 feet (2,335 m), Arequipa is lower than Cusco but still high enough that some travelers feel it, especially on arrival. Colca Canyon's rim sits considerably higher still, so allow time to acclimatize before strenuous stops.
A round-trip day tour from Arequipa to Colca Canyon typically runs 12-16 hours given the distance, so an early start is normal — travelers who want more time at the canyon itself often prefer the 2-day trekking option.
April through November is Arequipa's dry season, with clear skies that are ideal for both city sightseeing and Colca Canyon visibility. December through March brings more rain and can occasionally affect mountain road conditions.
Arequipa's city center is mild by day but cools sharply after dark, and Colca Canyon's highland routes can be considerably colder — layers, sun protection, and a warm layer for early mornings are all worth packing.
Peru's currency is the Peruvian Sol (PEN). Cards are accepted at many hotels and restaurants in the city center, but small vendors, rural stops, and entrance fees on the way to Colca Canyon are often cash-only.
Arequipa is Peru's second-largest city, built almost entirely from sillar, a pale volcanic stone quarried from the surrounding hills, which is what earns it the nickname 'the White City.' Framed by three volcanoes — El Misti, Chachani, and Pichu Pichu — its UNESCO World Heritage-listed historic center holds one of South America's most striking colonial landmarks in the Santa Catalina Monastery, a walled convent city that was closed to outsiders for nearly 400 years.
Beyond the historic center, Arequipa is best known as the gateway to Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world and a real, reliable place to watch Andean condors ride the morning thermals from the Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint. Voyzo's private Arequipa city tours and Colca Canyon routes run with your own driver and guide, not folded into a shared coach group.
