Arequipa

Nicknamed "The White City" because of its use of white volcanic rock throughout the area, this city is not only surrounded by peaceful Andes Mountain views, but historic sites as well. It was recently declared a UNESCO world heritage site and visitors can enjoy views of their famous snow capped volcano from anywhere in the city. The climate is always dry and sunny with mild temperatures making it pleasant to visit any time of the year.

 
When to go

The driest months are from May to October, though it's still fine to visit throughout the year. Arequipa is referred to as the city of eternal spring with over 300 days of sunshine per year.
