Winnie :: Arequipa


Peru's second-largest city. Also known as the White City as the old colonial buildings were built from white volcanic rock. The main attraction is the memory card killing Monasterio de Santa Catalina. In the old days, the second daughter of rich Spanish families had to enter religious service. These rich girls spent their lives in the nunnery, served by their servants/ slaves).

The small cafe inside the nunnery is also a must-visit place.
