"I Never Imagined Arequipa Like This!" 😳🤩

Who knew you could feel like you're in Europe while in Peru? Peru's second-largest city, Arequipa, is built with white volcanic stone, making the entire city glow under the sun like an angelic white paradise 🤍. This dreamy city sits under the watch of Misti Volcano 🌋—an active Andean peak with a history of earthquakes. ☀️ Mornings at Plaza de Armas Sipping coffee while admiring the grand cathedral ⛪️, watching locals gather in this slow-paced, spotlessly clean city center. 🍽️ Must-Try Restaurant Dined al fresco at #13Monjas—absolute perfection! 🥂 Save this spot! 🏰 #SantaCatalinaMonastery A jaw-dropping glimpse into colonial-era nun life (est. 1579). Wealthy families sent their second daughters here—with entire servant teams!—never to leave. The lavish, village-sized convent shatters all stereotypes of humble nun life. 😏 ⚠️ Travel Notes At 2,339m altitude, temps swing 12°C daily. Brutal UV rays + 10% humidity = sunscreen & eye drops are ESSENTIAL! Next stop: Cusco (3,310m)—the heart of Inca culture & the Sun God! 🌞 #Peru #TravelPeru #Backpacking #SouthAmerica #SoloTravel ✈️🌎
