This Arequipa complex is huge, with lots of streets, houses, rooms, hallways, and squares inside the monastery walls. Like a city within a city. You can spend several hours roaming around, discovering unusual artefacts. In the end, it got a tad too much. If you get tired, you can take a load off at the cozy cafe. Santa Catalina Monastery is a beautiful place, with different kinds of architectural features, all equally striking, but the most appealing one to me, the gorgeous red colour, against the blue sky. Stunning!

You’re so right, Bea! The red walls against that blue sky looks incredible. Love that photo at the top. Thanks for sharing on #FarawayFiles
Thank you!
Love the colours! Peru looks amazing #FarawayFiles
Peru has soooo much to offer!!
We visited this back in 2012, and have to agree! The red against the brilliant blue sky was super striking.
Gorgeous!
I always like red combinations and I can tell that as I’m also an Architect! 😉
Cool 🙂 Liked it a lot! How did Norway treat you?
It was the best experience of my life! Norway is just amazing especially tromso! I’m hoping to come back again soon maybe this year end ..but probably visit oslo also next time! 🙂
Glad you had a good time! Arctic Norway is something else 🙂
Thanks! 🙂
the colours are amazing! the red against the blue is just awesome
I loved it!!
We’d love to get back to Peru! The last time we were there, we only covered Lima and Cusco (+Machu Picchu). Missed out on getting to Arequipa!
I did the “whole” thing: Arequipa, Puno, Cusco, Ollantaytambo (Machu Picchu), Lima and Iquitos/the Amazon. Unfortunately decided not to do the Nazca Lines 🙁
Oh yeah we understand what you mean. We want to redo Peru next time minus Cusco and Machu Picchu since we’ve done it!
So much to see and so little time 🙂
