A grand city! It has got a center straight from colonial times, lots of sun and the magical Monasterio Santa Catalina (see pictures!).
One can feel like home here. We are staying in a 400 years old colonial house, very well maintained, rather rustic. Breakfast on the terrasse with view the the snowy peaks of El Misti and Chachan (6.075 - perhaps doable?)...
After having tried the flattened guinea pig with moderate success on our first night in town ; - ) I thought that restaurants must surely have got more to offer. I was right. Arequipa is full of cool places, flashy bars largely beating the Brussels average. All the more, considering the huge contrast with the cities shabby outskirts not to mention some small towns we have seen from the bus.
There will be more pictures coming hopefully about the Colca Cañon once we manage to get there…
