One of the beautiful things about traveling is the spontaneity. One moment I was on a bus with a plan to go to the city of Juliaca to work on a farm, and the next I was buying an overnight bus ticket to the southern city of Arequipa with my new Belgium friend. Sometimes it's simply necessary to listen to the what the universe is telling us.
Arequipa was a wonderful city. It's nick-named the "white city" because of all the beautiful white buildings (compared to the darker stone constructions in Cusco and Lima).
While in the city, my new friend Stephanie and I walked the bustling streets, ate delicious foods and learned some history. We also managed to take a chocolate class and made delicious organic chocolates starting from cacao beans.
Being from a mountain town originally, it's always nice to enjoy a few days of city life. We would sip our coffee with breakfast from the terrace roof of our hostel and look at the three huge surrounding volcanoes while enjoying the sunshine and perfectly pleasant temperature.
