I stayed 6 days/5 nights in this beautiful white city, made from volcanic rocks. you have a good mite between local and tourist in Arequipa. I stayed in Way kap Hostel, not too far from Plaza de Armas, it is the main square. It was a nice hostel, clean and friendly staff. The city is not that huge but still big if you are walking only. I started my trip; finding myself going to fix my glasses for my view, I went Optical Tolentino, they were really nice and not expensive for 2 pairs of glasses. I did a full day tour for Colca canyon, It was long drive but worth it , landscape are breathtaking , you can see condors in their natural habitat, llama , alpaca.. back to the city, I enjoyed taking some street photography day and by golden or blue hour. 4 or 5 days it is perfect to acclimate yourself with the altitude as the city is already at 2335m . I did some aerial shots to admire the city and some volcanos around it..
Next step Cusco & Machu Picchu
