In Arequipa we...

...tasted traditional Arequipeño dishes (chupe de camarones and rocotto relleno) and had pisco sours on a balcony overlooking the beautiful Plaza de Armas.


...visited the Santa Catalina monestary at candlelight and took some silly pictures. (above: what would happen if Kin and Sam were stuck in a cell: 1- boredom, quickly followed by 2- insanity)

...fell in love with this woman and her dolls.



...went rafting and made some new friends.

...followed Kin's (lousy) guidebook to Yanahuara for a big celebration (with fireworks and all!) and found this empty Plaza instead. Wrong date, guidebook!



...went to Cañon del Colca to see the condors.


...and saw plenty of llamas/alpacas on the way back.




...and just enjoyed the city bundled up in our new ponchos!

As much as we adored Huaraz, I think Arequipa might be our favourite Peruvian city so far!
