The other white city

After Cuzco, I headed to Arequipa, known as the white city although only the churches and the Plaza de Armas have this color. I found this city nice but a bit deceptining after all the comments I had heard, so after visiting the impressive Santa Catalina convent I decided to go to the Colca Canyon. There I did a 2-day trekking to an oasis at the bottom of the canyon, had a close view of Condors flying by and enjoyed the festivities of Cabanaconde.
