I remember I woke up very early in the morning as there were a lot to see. Yes, the "White City" of Arequipa is one of Peru's most photogenic places 😍 Some may ask, why did I took the hassles of transferring bus after bus? Well, most of the attractions in South America are scattered, going by planes for all destinations would be very expensive. Since there weren't much trains, taking buses was the best option. Even that, options were limited as I had to pick a reputation one and also made sure the bus ran on paved road.
