Foundation of Arequipa

Ari qepay (“Yes, stay”) in Quechua or ariq qipa (“behind the peak”) in Aimara. Two
phrases that historians, etymologists, linguists and translators believe give rise to the
name of Arequipa.
A 'White City’ which is known for its historic center, recognized as a Cultural Heritage
of Humanity by Unesco; for its traditional food, the imposing Colca Canyon and the
majestic Misti volcano. A city where characters from Peruvian history were born: Deán
Valdivia and his regionalist momentums; Mariano Melgar and his heartfelt poetry; Even
Mario Vargas Llosa and his narrative talent, every citizen who was born –and not in
vain- under the foot of the volcano, feels proud on each anniversary.
“How pretty is my Misti, faithful guardian of my city. Arequipa beautiful, there is no
other like you. Long live Arequipa, my native land”, composition of Benigno Ballón
Farfán, musician and icon of Arequipa history.
Since 1540, every August 15th is a cult for all the people of Arequipa. Come and visit
The Ruta del sillar”, to being calm in the Campiña Arequipeña (the countryside) and
learning more about the Petroglyphs of Toro Muerto.
The festivities have changed for almost five centuries and now the city gets paralyzed
when the celebrations are near.
