Arequipa

Summary Cinematic volcanic landscapes and religious imagery, mix with a laid back Spanish vibe. The UNESCO World Heritage city center fills the screen with baroque style architecture that reminds one of a different time. Small protests, opportunities for gambling, and amazing deserts, drop in along the journey. The stunning 500-year-old Santa Catalina monastery invokes humble religious beliefs, the historic role the church played in colonialism, and raise questions about self-isolation in a world emerging from a global pandemic. Along the way, Tom accidentally joins a street comedy show, which exposes some aspects of Peruvian culture that might be more complicated than may otherwise be apparent. An erratic drive to an outdoor museum and rock quarry shows how the regions geology helped turn the geographic location into Peru's 2nd most populous city. Higher up in the Andes, a few hundred kilometers from Arequipa in the tiny town of Andahuaylillas, the beautiful "Sistine Chapel" of the Andes Mountains displays a bit of its beauty. While in direct contrast, a short walk from the church, bones claiming to be from an alien/human baby hybrid, add to the legend and mythology that is the Peruvian Andes.
