About Arequipa for Solo Travelers
Peru's White City beneath three volcanoes where a 16th-century convent holds an entire hidden city inside its walls — solo travelers base in Arequipa for condor-watching in one of earth's deepest canyons.
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.
