  2. Yanahuara

    The peaceful neighborhood of Yanahuara makes a diverting excursion from the city center. It's within walking distance: go west on Av Puente Grau over the Puente Grau bridge, and continue on Av Ejército for half a dozen blocks. Turn right on Av Lima and walk five blocks to a small plaza. At the side of the plaza there's a mirador (lookout) with excellent views of Arequipa and El Misti.
