10 Things to do Good for Kids in Arequipa That You Shouldn't Miss

February 12, 2022 Elouise Mccaul

In Peru's second-most populous city, aka "The White City," stunning colonial buildings made of pearly sillar stone vie for attention with the surrounding volcanoes and snow-capped peaks of the western Andes. Founded in 1540, it's a smorgasbord of mansions and museums. The top attraction, 215,000-square-foot Santa Catalina Monastery, is like its own city within a city, complete with fountains and cobblestone streets. Arequipa is the favorite base for visiting Colca Canyon and its massive condors.

Reviewed By Moncurian

As part of a group of 8, we recently took a private tour from Cusco to Puno, the Colca Canyon, and Arequipa. Transfers Peru supplied the vehicle - a late model 17 passenger Mercedes Benz - and the driver - Richard. We all felt safe and secure with Richard behind the wheel, as we went on some very windy roads right on the edge of cliffs. Richard was very friendly and stayed with our belongings when we were not in the vehicle. He even drove us to airport at the end of our tour. I would definitely recommend Transfers Peru.

Monasterio de Santa Catalina

Considered a masterpiece of colonial architecture, this monastery is a large complex of rooms, picturesque plazas, ornate fountains and a maze of narrow, cobblestone streets.

Reviewed By Mihamarko - Zagreb, Croatia

Beautiful monastery in Arequipa where we spent 2-3 hours just gazing at the architecture and taking in all the history and trying to understand the lives of people inside the monastery.
