Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The city of Arequipa was founded by the Spanish in 1540. Right in the historic center of Arequipa is the Plaza de Armas, beautifully framed by 3 volcanoes, the 17th-century neoclassical Basilica Cathedral, and the Iglesia de la Compaia. The nearby Convent (Monasterio) de Santa Catalina was built in 1579. Its spectacular architecture integrates local and colonial styles from the 16th to 19th centuries. The city was built initially with adobe and later with sillar (soft white volcanic rock, pink in some rare cases, which gives Arequipa the title the White City. The historic center of Arequipa is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it represents an integration of European and native building techniques and characteristics, expressed in the admirable work of colonial masters and Criollo and Indian masons. This combination of influences is illustrated by the city's robust walls, archways and vaults, courtyards and open spaces, and the intricate Baroque decoration of its facades. (unesco. org.

Quite possibly the only stone city in the world. To be in Arequipa is to be in the depths of a volcano. The historic centre of Arequipa, built in volcanic sillar rock. The historical centre of Arequipa is therefore characterized by its ORIGINALITY. The ornamented architecture in the historical centre of Arequipa represents a MASTERPIECE of the creative integration of European and native characteristics. The World Heritage site consists of 49 original blocks of the Spanish layout. In addition there are 24 blocks from the colonial period and the 19th century. UNESCO

I dont know how he does it, but this is a good example of someone who know how to set his exposure for the shot. Using a camera that is considered a legacy camera now. The dynamic range in this video would suggest a tried and tested custom picture profile. Well done.

The architectural mix is interesting, the brightly coloured adobe buildings contrast against the classical Spanish architecture. Very well shot as usual, the footage of the surrounding mountains is very dramatic.
