The Monastery of St. Catalina in Arequipa, Peru 🇵🇪, is located in the Old Town of Arequipa, a World Heritage Site.
☑️Arequipa is about a 1.5-hour flight from Lima.
Unlike Cusco, this beautiful ancient city boasts Spanish-style colonial architecture from the Spanish colonial era in its center. It's also known as the "White City" because it was built entirely out of white volcanic rock.
☑️St. Catalina Monastery
A secluded world of blues and reds contrasts strikingly with the chalk. For about 400 years, it was a place of prayer and living for nuns.
The elevation isn't high, so even long walks won't tire you out. Lose track of time and get lost in a vibrant, otherworldly world.
