    A 19th century church surprised me with its intricate stonework. In addition, I learned about the process of grinding wheat with stone mills.

    The Plaza de Armas impressed me with its fountain and colonial charm. I strolled around the Centro Histórico, bought cuy frito and enjoyed the views from Yanahuara and Carmen Alto.

    Arequipa, known as the "White City", captivated me with its ashlar architecture and sloping streets. A quiet city with a unique atmosphere compared to Cuzco or Lima.
