Why is Arequipa the ideal venue to learn and practice Spanish?
Arequipa is the ideal venue to learn and practice Spanish – given that there are few places where this language is spoken as beautifully and as correctly. The city is situated in a large green oasis in the South Peruvian desert along the foothills of the Andes, evoking an atmosphere typical of a colonial Latin American urban settlement. In addition, the climate of the “Ciudad Blanca” (“White City”), located at 2330 m (7.644 ft.) above sea level, is marvellous – whether it is summer, winter, the dry season or the (short) “rainy” season, Arequipa is the incarnation of “eternal springtime,” offering crystal blue skies and pleasant temperatures throughout the entire year. – And not to forget: since the year 2000, Arequipa is listed as a UNESCO Cultural Patrimony of Humanity. Arequipa is a place where the city and countryside meet. Its cultural activities and leisure amenities are surprisingly varied. The surrounding countryside offers attractive and varied excursions for every type visitor
