Second city of Peru, Arequipa the white one - thus named because it was built in a very clear volcanic stone, the sillar - extends between majestic Rio Chile and three volcanos with the snow-covered summits: Chachani (6087 m), Misti (5821 m) and Pichu Pichu (5540 m) which offer a splendid framework to him.

Quoted of very Spanish pace, its colonial seal is more smiling that that of Cuzco, more especially as the sun is shining there almost all the year.
