Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly

Arequipa is Peru's "White City" — built from white sillar volcanic rock — and an outstanding solo destination. The Santa Catalina Monastery (a city within a city) is unmissable and extraordinary solo. The Colca Canyon (twice as deep as the Grand Canyon) is the main adventure; two-day tours group solo travelers with a guide and give you condor viewpoints at Cruz del Cóndor. Altitude here (2,335m) is gentler than Cusco.
