Peru - Arequipa

Baptized as `The White City` & not because the Lack of ethnics but due to the distinctive Volcanic stonework. Unfortunately for me, i wasn`t feeling too well so i didn't explore this place as much as i´d have liked too.... I really wanted to climb to the peak of one of its volcanoes....However im sure there will be other volcanoes to master.....

The view from the terrace on the roof of our hostel &
Towering behind the city is Volcano Chachani, standing proud at 6075m
Apparently one of the easiest 6000m peaks to climb in the world.....

Monasterio Santa Catalina founded by the Spanish in 1580

Not forgetting your usual protests outside government buildings....
