Arequipa Photos

This is the beautiful Cathedral at the northern edge of the Plaza de Armas of Arequipa by night. It looks great all lit up and sparkling - not surprisingly it is a favourite spot with locals as well as visitors. Below you can see the view of the plaza we had over breakfast from our hotel´s balcony... El Misti, the volcano in the distance, is very pretty! The other images show some lovely colonial buildings, mostly white and elegant, but some very colourfully painted in a Mediterranean style.





Another elegent archway - this was our favourite street in the centre of town for catching a quick coffee and watching the world go by!



Another view of the Plaza at night - this time from behind the grand central fountain (which was always covered with hundreds of pigeons!).
