The city´s active volcano, El Misti sits in the backdrop of the city.
A local woman dressed in a national costume selling "queso helado arequipeño" (Arequipa´s cheese ice-cream). It´s delicious!
In the centre, the majority of architecture is built by this off-white volcanic stone called ´sillar´. That´s why Arequipa is called the white city.
A beautiful European architecture with a palace-like interior, now it´s a bank.
The Plaza de Armas of Arequipa in daylight, filled with pigeons and visitors. Having been to most of Perú´s major cities, I must say Arequipa´s is the most beautiful!
Beautiful flowers bloomed in the gardens of the Plaza de Armas right in front of La Catedral.

Another view of La Catedral, that has been rebuilt many times due to earthquakes.
