Arequipa

Dear Sherril:

Hello, we hope you feel happy, because we are on Monday. We came back from vacation, and we met all our school friends again. We are going to write about all the things that we did on vacations, now here is very cold. We have entered your web page, there are beautiful photographs, now it is our turn,

In this opportunity we are going to write you about the wonders of Arequipa. This department has more than 20 places to be visited, we chose the 20 best ones:

  1. Santa Catalina Monastery
  2. The Company Church
  3. San Francisco Church
  4. The convent and church of the Merced
  5. The Santa Teresa Monastery
  6. Recoleta
  7. San Lazaro

These are places that are Downtown City

And these are out of the city

  1. The Mansion of Founder
  2. Colca Canyon (shown in the pictures)
  3. Cayma
  4. Yanahuara
  5. Majes Valley
  6. Volcanoes Valley
  7. Mejia Sanctuary
  8. Socobaya
  9. Chilina
  10. Toro Muerto Petroglyph

 

Now we are going to tell you about the Colca canyon

The colca canyon is approximately 3,800 m above the sea level; you can even cross the canyon and climb the Mismi peak. While majestic Andean condors soar 3,000m over the Colca river at the bottom, visitors can descend to the river on foot or on horseback by roads cut into the multicolored mountainside, but the trip to northern Arequipa is not only memorable for the Colca canyon, the colonial city itself is also a true jewel and a tour of its Santa Catalina Convent is a must.
