We were unfortunate to get there on a smoggy day, so we did not see the whole beauty of it's panoramic view But street walking in area right across the square made up for it:) Very beautiful, lots places to take picktures by, definitely worth the trip!

Here too is the church of of Archangel Michael and its beautiful facade. Travel on the green tourist bus to get a good view... More

This small village is close to the downtown is a very, very nice town and a mix between the native and spanish architecture; made mainly by white rocks from the volcanus "Misti" lava; around there there are a lot of friendly ,good tipycal restaurant of arequpa's food
