Arequipa, the “White City,” is situated at over 2,300 meters and offers many highlights: a historic old town, stunning views of volcanoes, tours to the beautiful Colca Canyon, and great opportunities to observe condors. Nearby is the Aguada Blanca nature reserve, where vicuñas, alpacas, llamas, and guanacos live together on the high Andean plains. For those who want to experience the volcanoes up close and have good acclimatization and fitness, climbing them is also possible.
