Arequipa.
Founded on August 5,
1540, by Manuel Garci de Carbajal, the city's name comes from the
Quechua phrase "Arequipai" which means "Yes, stay". It's not just by
chance however that its name has held true throughout time; in the
city streets, in its 'sillar' walls and in the attitude of it's people
you feel a peculiar energy, a strange impulse, inviting you to stay on
in the city.
