Arequipa - day 2

On our last day in Arequipa we missed the hotel breakfast and got instead great breakfast in one of the many cafes in the center. I wanted to visit the cathedral of Arequipa but you could enter only if you pay the fee for cathedral museum and guide 😅. We left and walked to the nearby Santa Catalina Monastery. This incredible women’s monastery is like a city inside of city and we spent almost an hour walking around. This monastery has 3 courtyards, library, Bild gallery, common kitchen, many private apartments ect. After that we walked out of the city center to the Viewpoint de Yanahuara. Unfortunately it was cloudy so we couldn’t see the volcano Misti in the background. Highlight of the day we the visit of the most popular restaurant in Arequipa among locals ~ La Nueva Palomino. This amazing beer garden has a nicely decorated outdoor patio and the food is amazing. You can taste that the food is homemade and delicious 🤤. At 17:20 we took short flight to Cusco, our last stop of this trip. Due to conflicts in the south of the country there are not many tourists and we managed to get accommodation discounted from 42€ to 11€.Read more
