What to do in Arequipa

In the midst of a muddle of mountain peaks, Arequipa is a hub of history. A guided (or solo) wander through the streets will take you past the city's many museums, as well as the impressive Basilica Cathedral, the famous Tuturutu Fountain in the Plaza de Armas, and the Santa Catalina Convent - the views are astounding. Outside the city, venture into the countryside for few hours of scenic hiking and mountain biking.
