Arequipa, Peru
Arrived in Arequipa in the early afternoon. Immediately the altitude took its affect. Travelig from Lima at sea level to 7,000 ft. is a major change in your body, so coca tea helps the body adjust to the altitude.
We spent some time walking around the main plaza de armas. El Misti, the volcano can be seen in the distance and the views are spectacular. Tomorrow we are going to walk around the city and sketch. And in two days we leave for Cusco.
