2013 Nov. Arequipa.
Took a 1.5hr domestic flight from Lima to Arequipa. Arequipa is Peru’s second most important city (after Lima), and second most popular among tourists (after Cuzco). The city centre is a UNESCO world heritage site, and we were lucky to have a university professor who works part time as a tour guide to give us a very detailed introduction of Arequipa. Arequipa is an example of Spanish and mestizo culture developed in Peru. There are no Inca artifacts or ruins in the city.
