Arriving in Arequipa I felt everything was white, from the buildings with a Spanish ring to them, to the snowcapped, dormant volcano Misti towering “behind”. All bathing in the sunshine. The city’s focal point is the beautiful Plaza de Armas. Even though it is worth a visit, there are few things which warrant spending a longer time here. Nevertheless, I got what I came for, a jump-off point for visiting Colca Canyon.
Look at that volcano! Crazy! But then again I come from a place where a volcano erupted in my lifetime! (Mt. Saint Helens, WA.) Thanks for sharing with #FarawayFiles, Erin
Nice, from a distance 🙂 Wow, that sounds scary!! You’re from Washington State, that state looks beautiful!
This town has a very mystical air about it – especially with the looming volcano!
I find it very small considering it is Peru’s second largest city, so maybe it has a mystical vibe… Beautiful volcano!
Yup, Peru is a bucket list for us, and Misti is very beautiful. I’m glad the climb was worth the view for you! And, nice for me to see an aerial shot of a place I’ve never visited before! #farawayflies
Great bucket list item 🙂 Well worth it! Peru has so much to offer.
I loved Arequipa, particularly the Santa Castalina monastry. We were lucky enough to stay with friends who’s house overlooks Misti, fabulous views every day #FarawayFiles
Wow, that sounds amazing! Santa Catalina was nice!
Volcano is awesome!!! love the shot
Thanks! At least in a safe distance 🙂
Wow…can’t recall how high up Arequipa is, but volcano sure towers over!
2380 masl, according to Wikipedia 🙂 It is massive, and beautiful with the snow cap.
The volcano looks cool! I didn’t knew where Arequipa was but then I checked Google maps and wow you are touring Peru? What other places have you been there by now? Just curious 😁
This is from a previous trip. I did Lima, Arequipa, Puno, Cusco, Ollantaytambo and Iquitos/Amazon. Beautiful Misti and great country!
Wow nice! 🙂
