Arequipa Cathedral
After what seemed like an eternity on the bus (it was only 7 hours), and some 70īs Latin American crooners on the bus DVD (hard to believe there is something more annoying than Phil Collins) we arrived in Arequipa.
Room in monastery
Arequipa is quite a large city, and more recently very touristy. It serves as a good base to do the Caņon del Colca (we are starting our 3 day trek of this tomorrow), has some great colonial architecture including the "Monasterio De Santa Catalina" (a 400 year old convent) which we spent a few hours visiting. It is spread over a whole block and is like a city within a city.
Fraser and Andrea
We sampled some of the local specialites, including ceviche (marinated fish & seafood), cuy choctao (grilled Guinea Pig) and stuffed spicy pepper.
