The White City Rooted in the Andean traditions of the Altiplano, Arequipa is located in the south-western part of the country and is the second largest city of Peru. Sitting at 2,335 meters above sea level (7,661 feet), Arequipa is surrounded by three volcanoes: the cone-shaped El Misti (5,822 meters or 19,100 feet), the always snow capped Chachani (6,075 meters or 19,900 feet) and Picchu Picchu (5,425 meters 17,800 feet). The three volcanoes range in elevation from just under 18,000 feet to approximately 20,000.
