THE SECOND LARGEST CITY AND COMMERCIAL CAPITAL OF THE SOUTH OF PERU, AREQUIPA IS PROBABLY THE MOST STRIKING IN THE COUNTRY DUE TO ITS ELEGANT HISTORIC CENTER WITH DAZZLING COLONIAL BUILDINGS BUILT OF SILLAR, A POROUS WHITE VOLCANIC STONE, THE REASON WHY IT IS DUBBED LA CIUDAD BLANCA OR THE WHITE CITY. SURROUNDING THE CITY IN FULL VIEW ARE THREE MAJESTIC SNOW CAPPED VOLCANOES NAMELY EL MISTI, CHACHANI AND PICHU PICHU WITH PEAKS REACHING AN AVERAGE OF 6,000 M.A.S.L. |
