Arequipa is Peru’s second-largest city. Located in a stunning volcanic landscape, this vibrant city is home to a unique food culture, fascinating history, and plenty of amazing hiking opportunities nearby. What’s more, Arequipa is seriously cool. Peru’s White City is known for its bold autonomy, political activism, and radical art, literature, and culture.

Learn About the Unique Culture

Culture vultures will love Arequipa. Tour the colorful Santa Catalina monastery by candlelight, pay your respects to Juanita, the 14-year-old ice mummy sacrificed by the Inca, and take a free walking tour to learn about Arequipa’s colonial history, proud tradition of social justice and civic rebellions, and gastronomic Renaissance.

Eat in a Picantería

The picantería is a uniquely Arequipan institution. These lunchtime canteens serve traditional Peruvian cuisine, cooked in huge silver pots over wood fires. Eat side by side with the locals and wash everything down with a delicious jug of fermented chicha corn beer.

Hike in Colca Canyon

Surrounded by a spectacular volcanic landscape, a stay in Arequipa is a fantastic springboard for all kinds of outdoor activities. There are many tour companies based in the city that will guide you on a trek through Colca Canyon, the second deepest canyon in the world. Look out for soaring condors high above the canyon and camp under the stars.

Canyons are amazing for anyone who’s looking for an active vacation in beautiful nature. They are a great playground for hiking, climbing, paddling, and other activities. Here are some of the most gorgeous canyons you can visit.

Colca Canyon, Peru

Very remote and very deep, the Colca Canyon has a depth of 3,270 meters. It was only recognized as such around 30 years ago after some adventurers made it to the first descent of the river Colca and realized just how deep the canyon really is.

Waimea Canyon, Hawaii

Hawaii is more than tropical beaches and surf breaks. Nature is incredible throughout the island and the Waimea canyon is just one example. It’s the deepest canyon in the Pacific.

Indus Gorge, India

The photos can’t do a good job describing just how stunning this place is. The Indus Gorge has rivers Indus and Zanskar flowing through them in the most beautiful way. They are different shades of blue so their junction looks simply incredible.

The Grand Canyon, USA

This may be the first thing you think of when it comes to canyons. It’s such a popular destination that the waiting lists for the Colorado river raft are sometimes 10 years long!
