Travel to Arequipa, the Spanish colonial-era capital of Peru, which is nestled in the Andes Mountains and framed by three snow-capped volcanoes. The entire old town, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, is filled with baroque buildings constructed from sillar, a white volcanic stone. At its center is the leafy Plaza de Armas, a stately main square from where the city grew and which serves today to attract families, visitors, vendors and musicians. Barry Pell and his wife lived in Arequipa for one month, experiencing the city as residents, and learning about its vivid indigenous and Spanish history and culture. Pell is a world traveler and photojournalist who has traveled widely over five decades visiting and documenting landscapes and cultures in nearly 170 countries on all continents. He currently lectures on international cultures at schools, universities, libraries, and community groups in the Boston area.
