Friday
morning leaving Lima to Arequipa. One hour 10 minutes flight along
the desert Pacific coast then flying over the desert mountains.
The
city is located at an altitude of 2,328 meters (7,638 ft), the lowest
part of the city lies at an altitude of 2,041 meters (6,696ft) in the
area called the Huayco Uchumayo District and the highest is located
at 2,810 meters (9,220 ft).
The
global solar radiation recorded in the city ranges from 850–950 W /
m 2 (watts / square meter), considered one of the highest levels of
radiation in South America and the highest recorded in Peru. So wear
a hat and protect your skin! This phenomenon is due to its proximity
to the area of influence of the Atacama Desert and pollution at every
stage. It's cold at night.
Saturday
we will visit the monastery of Santa Catalina.
