    I regret not having more time exploring Arequipa and the surrounding region. My Amazon adventure in Manu Park was the most memorable part of my South American trip and recommend it to everyone. Be sure to check out the local market in Cusco, and a cruise on Lake Titicaca was surprisingly relaxing and worthwhile. I posted my daily experiences of my trip to Peru at http://DestinationMike.blogspot.com if you’re looking for more details :)

    Hi Mike and Anne,
    I will give you my declaimer first: I am an architect and therefore bias towards the built environment. So a lot of my recommendations will involve some architecture.
    Ok, having said that. I highly recommend Arequipa for the Santa Catalina Convent. This is one of the most amazing and beautiful space/ architecture experiences I have ever had.  And I have travelled quite a bit. The convent alone covers a whole city block if not more. The spaces are just beautiful, the light, the shadows, the colors… It is hard to explain! Sometime as an architect I get caught up on the tectonics of a building (materials, details…); but there are moments when I experience a real space that is more about the void that is left than the walls and it just feels good to be there. This is one of those such places for me.
