Explore & Experience: the White City of Arequipa in Peru, a World Heritage Site
Arequipa is the second largest city in Peru and remains one of its hidden gems. Although few who visit would argue its beauty or significance, Arequipa sometimes stays off the map as it is not very well known by travellers.
The historical center of Arequipa stands out with its white volcanic rock and blend of European and native building techniques and in 1970 the center was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
Arequipa expresses itself in music, food, art and literature and offers visitors an abundance of museums, historical buildings and restaurants.
Join our tour guide, Mauricio, as we explore the historic city center of the White City and discover how it got this nickname!
Explore & Experience is a virtual tour which will last for 1 hour, with 15 minutes of Q&A following the tour with our tour guide Mauricio.
