There are loads of treks, hikes and other exhausting adventures available around Huaraz, we chose one which we'd been reliably informed was the easiest. Glad we didn't try the 'challenging' ones.

Just a short stop in Arequipa but definitely worth it. They call it The White City after the local stone which all of the old buildings are built from. It looks fantastic in the sunshine and we were Czytaj więcej
