We're going to get a bit quirky today...when people think of Peru they think of Machu Pichu. I visited Peru on a small group adventure tour with Explore in April/May of 06. Hard to believe that was 7 years ago. Where did the time go? It got me hooked on small group adventures and I've done four more since then. This is the 2013 version of the tour I was on and it still looks pretty well the same itinerary as mine with a few minor (and better) changes. Explore listened to our suggestions!!! (no back and forth to Colca Canyon in one day!) Arequipa is the second most populous city in Peru, next to Lima, with a population of close to 850,000. It is known as the "White City" due to it's many white buildings. The group all flew into Lima (everyone flew over from London but me - I was the lone Canadian - or should I say lone non-British person!) and after an evening get together flew into Arequipa the next day. This is the view that awaited us in Areq
