Default Peru - Arequipa

Arequipa , the 'white city', is a peaceful colonial city, situated at 2.325 m. altitude and surrounded by volcanoes of which the most famous and highest is ' El Misti ( 5.822 meters ). Interesting to visit is the beautiful monastery of Santa Catalina. For 400 years, nuns have lived here in total isolation. It was not until 1970 that the monastery was opened to the public. In the ' La Cata' University , you can visit 'Juanita', an extremely well kept Inca mummy. The Incas sacrificed this little Inca girl to a volcano in order to please the gods.
