Sunday service with Firecrackers and a live band outside Monastery of San Francisco in Lima Peru
The Monastery of San Francisco in Lima, the capital of Peru, has a different way of celebrating mass on Sundays. At the end of the standard catholic ceremony in the church, a shrine to the saint is driven around the block in a pick up truck, then firecrackers are set off in the square while a live band plays and well dressed men carry the shrine in a slow swaying motion in a big circle. Interesting and odd at the same time.
Arequipa Cathedral and Main Square.
The Basilica Cathedral of Arequipa (“Basílica Catedral”, in Spanish) is located in the “Plaza de Armas” of the city of Arequipa, province of Arequipa, Peru.
It is the most important church of the city and Diocese of Arequipa since it is the base of the Archbishop and Metropolitan council. The cathedral is also considered one of Peru’s most unusual and famous colonial cathedrals since the Spanish conquest.

Arequipa The White City
Arequipa known as the White City. Much of the city center is built of sillar, a white volcanic stone. Three volcanoes, in fact, tower over the city; Chachani, Misti, and Pichu Pichu.
The city is filled with Colonial churches and mansions. Santa Catalina, a restored convent established in 1579 and open to the public since 1970 is surrounded by imposing high walls; it is like a city within a city. The nums who lived in that convent led a completed secluded life. Currently they are confined to a small section, so the remaining is open to the public for visiting.
The imposing Cathedral on the Plaza de Armas, reconstructed in 1844, La Compañia (Jesuit's church) on the south-eastern corner of the Plaza de Armas is one of the oldest churches in Arequipa, and withstood the earthquakes that shake this city quite often. San Francisco, La Merced and some of the restored mansions (Casa del Moral and the Casa de Tristan del Pozo. Peru travel.#Arequipa #arequipaperu #arequipaturismo #arequipaciudadblanca #arequipaquever

Annex to the Central Plaza, one finds the building complex of The Company of the Jesuits. The most complete and beautiful colonial edification of the city. It has a considerable collection of paintings from the Cusco school and a wonderful pulpit. It is located in The Company building complex. It is formed by 2 cloisters and several corridors with carved sillar portals, dated XVII century.
Al costado de la plaza de armas se encuentra el complejo de la órden de la Compañía de Jesús o Jesuitas construído con fines religiosos y de vivienda.
Está formado por dos claustros con corredores de portales de sillar tallado.
La mas bella y completa edificación colonial de la ciudad. Posee pinturas de la escuela cusqueña y un hermoso púlpito de fines del siglo XVII. Pertenece al complejo del mismo nombre que incluye los claustros.
Conformado por diversos edificios que muestran la arquitectura religiosa del siglo XVII, entre las que destaca la Iglesia de la Compañía, se erige en el Centro Histórico de Arequipa el Complejo de la Compañía.
Si bien fue diseñada en 1,573, la estructura original fue destruida en 1,584 por un terremoto. Así, los cimientos actuales datan de 1,650.
El templo, al igual que el resto de monumentos coloniales de la Ciudad blanca, está hecho de piedra sillar.
El Complejo de la Compañía, cuyo recinto original tuvo como arquitecto a Gaspar Báez, se ubica entre la Municipalidad de Arequipa y el Portal de Flores.
En su interior yacen más de sesenta lienzos de la escuela cusqueña, así como retablos de madera tallada y recubiertos con pan de oro.
En la sacristía está la Capilla de San Ignacio, el cual cuenta con murales polícromos que muestran la flora y la fauna de la región. Cabe señalar que La iglesia de la Compañía es considerada como la mejor creación del estilo mestizo arequipeño.
La principal de la Iglesia de la Compañía, de estilo barroco, se distingue por tratar el relieve en superficie y no en profundidad.
Además es el primer recinto religioso en usar elementos autóctonos americanos: plantas, animales y elementos propios de la mitología andina mezclados con motivos europeos.
Asimismo, destacan su portada lateral y los dos claustros, los cuales también poseen una fina decoración en piedra.
De otro lado, los lienzos que se encuentran en su interior pertenecen a diferentes artistas como Bernardo Bitti y Diego de la Puente.

Arequipa Travel Guide - Peru Beautiful Moments
Arequipa is a city in the Southern Coastal region of Peru just below the edge of the Altiplano, at 2380 meters above sea level and surrounded by three impressive volcanoes. It's Peru's second most important city (after Lima), and the second most popular among tourists (after Cuzco).
The city is part of the so called Southern Peru Tourist Corridor, together with Nazca, Puno and Cusco. In contrast to these other cities, Arequipa is an example of the Spanish and mestizo culture developed in Peru. There are no Inca artifacts or ruins in the city.
In the winter it is drier than in the summer. It is nicknamed the 'white city' (la ciudad blanca, in Spanish), because many of the buildings in the area are built of sillar, a white stone. This rock was quarried from the many volcanoes that surround the city, including the towering El Misti. Another theory which is commonly believed by the local population, is that the name 'white city' came about because it was built by spanish immigrants from the Basque Country who had pale skin and blonde hair. New Urban and archeological discoveries have shown that the frontage of houses were painted in different colours. Remaining examples can be found in the 'Casa Tristan del Pozo', the town centre. Ask for local help to identify Misti, Chachani and PichuPichu, the three volcanoes surrounding the city.
Arequipa embodies a rich mix of the indigenous and Spanish colonial cultures. With 478 years of history since its founding, examples of Spanish colonial architecture can be found throughout the center of the city and several surrounding districts. UNESCO has declared it a Human Heritage site. Catholic churches are scattered throughout the center of the city. Some ancient houses have been refurbished by the local authorities and serve as living museums. An example of this are the so-called Tambos located at Puente Bolognesi street.
The city has a central urban area that can be explored on foot. The historic center is a 5 block area around the main square and is relatively easy to navigate with one of the many maps available at hotels or any information office. Some ancient districts like Yanahuara and Cayma are also within walking distance.
Local restaurants are called Picanterias. They are still very popular among locals. Some are within the urban area and some others on the outside of the city. There is a neighborhood called Arancota, where you can find many of this restaurants. The main food attraction in this area is chicharron (fried pork with corn). Menu's are usually set, consisting of a hearty soup followed by a main dish.

Guarded by three dramatic volcanoes, the city's resplendent setting makes an obvious launchpad for trekking, rafting and visiting the Cañón del Colca. The Unesco World Heritage–listed city center is dressed in baroque buildings carved from sillar (white volcanic rock) stone, giving Arequipa the nickname 'Ciudad Blanca' (White City). Its centerpiece, a majestic cathedral with the ethereal El Misti rising behind it, is worth a visit alone. Pretty cityscapes aside, Arequipa has played a fundamental role in Peru’s gastronomic renaissance and dining here – in communal picantería eateries or tastebud-provoking fusion restaurants – is a highlight.

Iglesia La Merced ...Lima Peru
The original church was a small wooden construction and was built already before the foundation of Lima. In it the first Holy Mass of Lima was celebrated (1534). Today many faithful still come to the church every day, to adore the cross of 'Padre Urraca', who is believed to have performed many wonders. The traffic on the street outside is heavy but the inside of the church impresses you with its stone arcades. Take your time and admire the outstanding facade.
