Fui a la Ciudad Blanca hace mas de 40 años, siendo universitario, y regresé este mes de junio de 2022 sin grandes expectativas y casi, por obligación, por acompañar a mi pareja que quería conocerla. Grande fue mi sorpresa de reencontrarme con una ciudad hermosa, bien cuidada, segura, limpia y amable. Que tesoro tiene el Peru en Arequipa, y aún no explotado del todo, con mucho potencial turístico. Su gran plaza, la imponente catedral y los señoriales portales hacen un deleite a la vista, con el volcán Misti de fondo. El Monasterio de Santa Catalina tan grande y misterioso, y las calles de la ciudad llenas de edificios blancos, de soberbias fachadas. No puedo dejar de mencionar la exquisita gastronomía arequipeña, llena de sabores y colores. Muy interesante también el Mercado de San Camilo, que exhibe todos los productos que da la tierra, con multicolores escaparates de frutas y verduras. Solo hay un misterio que no pude resolver: ¡como puede haber una ciudad tan limpia y no vi ni un solo basurero en las calles! Cómo lo hacen? Felicitaciones a las autoridades de Arequipa y a la comunidad por mantener tan bien este patrimonio cultural.

Nos pegamos una “escapada” de viernes a domingo con mi novio y realmente la pasamos muy bien. Nos hospedamos cerca del centro y casi todos los recorridos los hicimos caminando. En Arequipa encontramos gente servicial, una vida muy comercial en el día y bohemia y alegre en la noche. Existen restaurantes y bares para todos los presupuestos.
Tambien fuimos al mirador de Yanahuara desde donde pudimos ver el imponente Misti. Definitivamente queremos regresar! para conocer mucho más de la naturaleza imponente que sabemos rodea a la ciudad blanca.
