  • Arequipa may be the most underrated city in Peru! Many travelers skip Arequipa on their journey through Peru, but we wanted to discover why it is nicknamed "The White City" and why you should visit this stunning city! We travel the Ruta del Sillar independently without a tour guide and we show you all the prices and how to do it yourself!

    /// ABOUT US ///
    Hi! We are Eric and Sarah, a couple of Canadians currently travelling around Peru. We’ve been married since 2017 but have known each other since we were only 6 years old! During our last year of university, we spent 4 months in Honduras on a semester abroad and fell in love with Latin America. Since then, we began planning and saving to do an extensive Latin America tour. 2020 delayed those plans by half a year but during this time stuck in BC, we explored a new hobby (like everyone in the pandemic) of videography and photography. We are now using our new skills to document our adventures around South America. Our desire through these videos is to provide helpful and inspiring content for other travelers while also showing people around the world how beautiful and beautiful South America truly is! Thanks for following along and please leave a comment to say hi!

    Arequipa was the place that inspired us to think about moving to South America - it’s so beautiful there we just wanted to stay! In the end Cuenca Ecuador won out as place to call home but Arequipa will always be a favorite.

      Oh amazing!! Arequipa is absolutely stunning. And so CLEAN. Cuenca is one of our favourites as well.

    Arequipa is actually a modern day Petra since it is a stone city. Peru has actually 2 rock cities, Arequipa and Cusco

    The visit to Arequipa made an interesting video. I liked that you took us first to where they mined the volcanic stone and then finished the video at the city of Arequipa. The art work on the Arequipa buildings that were made out of volcanic stone was exquisite!

    Probably it is too late. But Arequipa has its own regional tasty food -> Picanterias. 2 dishes are strongly recommended 1º Rocoto Relleno 2º Chupe de Camarones arequipeño ( made using river shrimp as ingredients )

    Thank you for sharing these incredible sites. The stone carvings are original and artistic. Such natural amazing statures ! I was really worried about you both getting lost in these canyons. Would you be able to notify the police to locate you ? What a relief that you made it back safely to town again. May God grant you Safe and Sound all your life !

    I love the video!!! Just a quick question, did you guys have to register your drone upon arrival?

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  2 роки тому

      Hey! We did not register our drone. Many people bring their drones to Peru and I don’t think it’s ever an issue. As long as you respect people’s space, and the rules of any tourist attraction, you shouldn’t have any problems bringing or flying a drone. Just be prepared for high altitude flying. Our Mavic mini (1st gen) could not handle flying over 3500m elevation. So pretty much anywhere near Cusco. Hope this helps!

    How many days did Peru give you as tourist visa ? AFAIK they can stamped a 180 days visa ?

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  2 роки тому

      We never planned to stay more than 90 days so we didn’t need to ask for longer than that!

    Okay, I loved seeing all the sculptures in white made of 'volcanic stone' but enchant the uneducated, from which volcano?? The 'ancient ruins of Petra in Jordan"... what? why? this is Peru. Lost here. Wonderful artists!

    • @EricandSarah
      @EricandSarah  2 роки тому +3

      Arequipa is surrounded by 3 volcanoes (Misti, Chachani, Pichu Pichu). You can actually see them in some of the drone shots in the video. And there’s no real reason for the sculptures and Petra… they just wanted to design some artistic pieces out of stone for tourists to see to represent the skill and artwork of stone workers from Arequipa. It’s like an art gallery.

    Funny . I did get it. How much did you pay for getting into the Sillar Area ?

      5 soles each. All the prices are in the video :)

      Oh so cool! Unfortunately we’ve already left that area of Peru. Maybe on a future trip :)
