A poco de volar sobre La Paz se ven estos imponentes nevados, al parecer según lo que veo en el Google Earth, el más alto serÃa el Illimani. Si alguien me puede corregir, se lo agradecerÃa.

On the mountains of truth you can never climb in vain: either you will reach a point higher up today, or you will be training your powers so that you will be able to climb higher tomorrow.

Arequipa is the capital of the Arequipa Region in southern Peru. With a population of around 800,000 it is the second most populous city of the country. Arequipa lies in the Andes mountains, at an altitude of 2,380 meters (7740 feet) above sea level, overseen by the snow-capped volcano El Misti.
The city has many colonial-era Spanish buildings built of sillar, a pearly white volcanic rock, from which it gets the nickname La Ciudad Blanca ("The White City").
The historic centre of Arequipa was named a UNESCO world heritage site in 2000, in recognition of its architecture and historic integrity.
The Andes´ influence extends well beyond its own geographical range and contributes significantly to the GDP of the Andean countries. For example, apart from serving the needs of the millions of people in the region itself, water from the Tropical Andes is of crucial importance for at least a further 20 million people living downstream. Almost all of the major cities on the western Pacific slope of the Andes rely heavily on water and the energy produced from hydropower, which the Andes mountains provide (Devenish & Gianella, 2012). The Andes are vital as a source of mineral resources and agricultural land. Agriculture and mining have long traditions in the region, and continue to play a significant role in several of the national economies (Borsdorf & Stadel, 2015). Between 15 and 17 per cent of total cropland within the Andean countries is located within the Andes mountains, with the larger proportion of mountain cropland being in the north: Peru, Colombia and Ecuador (Devenish & Gianella, 2012).
