Yanahuara will be the next destination of our tour, in the main square we have the church from the year 1750, the baroque style facade, but the most outstanding are the arches that frame beautiful pictures of the city and where texts have been engraved with the inspirations of the Arequipa resident.

The Yanahuara district is also a sample of Colonial Arequipa, it has picturesque narrow streets and mansions made of ashlar; After this visit, we will return to the historic center to visit the Santa Catalina monastery, which is a sample of four centuries of Arequipa architecture, the intrusive cells, the small streets and cloisters full of colorful flowers. Visitors will be revived and lost in the path of time.
