Second Stop – AREQUIPA

Small city  known as “WhiteCity”, because some of the buildings there are made by  a white stone that are formed by the volcanoes near by the city. My impressions of Arequipa cozy, beautiful, Colca Valley, and mal de altitude.

Colca Valley and Canyons ( Nature and local culture)

Beautiful Colca Valley and Canyons,  we were able to see the deep valley and how the local civilization was able to develop agriculture in high altitude, I believe there, we were around 3700 ms altitude. During this trip we felt a little dizzy ( mal de altitude) due to the high altitude.  We also saw the condores, a bird that we can see only on this region.
