Arequipa - Peru
Arequipa is de derde stad qua inwonertal in Peru. De stad ligt in het zuiden van het land, 1000 km verwijderd van Lima, op een hoogte van 2325 meter boven zeeniveau en ongeveer 300 kilometer ten noorden van de grens met Chili. De Plaza de Armas wordt als één van de mooiste van Peru bevonden; de kathedraal en de talrijke koloniale gebouwen sieren het plein.

Arequipa is the capital city of the Arequipa Region in southern Peru. It is the second most populous city of the country. Arequipa lies in the Andes mountains, at an altitude of 2,335 meters above sea level; the former snow-capped volcano El Misti overlooks the city.
These are some of the sights I saw on my fabulous double-decker bus tour of Arequipa.
The upper level was open to the air on the sides, with a clever roof that raised to let passengers move freely and lowered to while underway to prevent the bus from hitting low-hanging objects.

Santa Catalina Monasterio - Arequipa - Peru
The Monastery of Saint Catherine (Spanish: Santa Catalina) is a monastery of nuns of the Domincan Second Order, located in Arequipa, Peru. It was built in 1580 and was enlarged in the 17th century. The over 20,000-square-meter monastery was built predominantly in the Mudéjar style, and is characterized by its vividly painted walls. There are approximately 20 nuns currently living in the northern corner of the complex; the rest of the monastery is open to the public.
The foundress of the monastery was a rich widow, Maria de Guzman. The tradition of the time indicated that the second son or daughter of a family would enter a life of service in the Church, and the monastery accepted only women from upper class Spanish families. Each family paid a dowry at their daughter's admission to the monastery. The dowry expected of a woman who wished to enter as a choir nun--indicated by wearing a black veil—and who thereby accepted the duty of the daily recitation of the Divine Office, was 2,400 silver coins, equivalent to about $150,000 (U.S.) today. The nuns were also required to bring 25 listed items, including a statue, a painting, a lamp and clothes. The wealthiest nuns may have brought fine English china and silk curtains and rugs. Although it was possible for poorer nuns to enter the convent without paying a dowry, it can be seen from the cells that most of the nuns were very wealthy.
