Arequipa, Peru

Photography Tour in Arequipa

The best photos of Arequipa aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Arequipa is the White City of Peru, built from luminous sillar volcanic stone beneath three towering volcanoes. Its colonial center, vibrant markets, and stunning Santa Catalina Monastery make it one of Peru's most walkable cities.
