Arequipa

in #photography5 years ago

have a bit of backlash, so I travel to the other side of the world a lot.

In particular, local business trips are by far the best in the wool company.

Of course, you can't like it at home, but thanks to it, you see, hear, eat and eat a lot.

A while ago, I went to Arequipa and did some sightseeing in time.

I went to bed with a staff member on a business trip because they were moving around before flying back to Lima

.

In fact, rather than sightseeing, I went to take a commemorative photo ... At least leave a trace ...

Due to time, I stopped by two places, Yanahuara and Sachaca.

It is a place where all kinds of tourist data come out, and I have to take pictures to go

.

First, Yanahuara ...

This is the 5,800m El Misti mountain, which is seen between the arch bridges

.

This is also the place to see the Spanish colonial architecture, and the

San Juan Bautista Cathedral is one of them.

The second stop was Sachaca.

If you climb up the tower on the hill, Arequipa can be seen at a glance, and the

center of the tower is famous for the "Cristo Blanco (white Christ)" statue.

In fact, the building is only 19m high, but it is

quite tall in Peru, especially in Arequipa.

From this high point (?), Peru slums stand out.

In fact, it's hard to personally look into such houses, but

I photographed some of them because they were on high ground.

I

'm sorry if the Peruvians don't know why you're showing these pictures for pretty pictures, but in fact, what about these houses?

Main Square in Arequipa.

Here you can see a really nice and magnificent city.

In the history book, Arequipa, named by the Spanish occupation forces in 1540,

is called "Ciudad Blanca (White City)" due to the influence of the surrounding volcanoes, which are rich in white granite and are made of stones.

Although the weather is different from Lima, it is a place that shows blue sky for more than 300 days of the year, but it is a

typical desert climate

. It is a very unusual place with a hot daylight during the day and a cold day crossing that shakes when the sun falls .

The inhabitants of Arequipa are unique and think they are different from other Peruvians.

It is proud to promote independence at one time, but they are selling Arequipa Passport as a souvenir.

(Not really effective, but that's a sign of pride in their own city)
