EDITORS COMMENTS
Arequipa, the capital and largest city of the Arequipa Region in southern Peru, is nestled at the foot of the majestic Misti Stratovolcano. Known locally as Putina or Wawa Putina (Guagua Putina), this magnificent volcano has been a prominent feature of the city's landscape since time immemorial. The photograph, taken circa 1920, captures the enduring beauty and grandeur of Arequipa and its volcanic guardian. Situated in the heart of the Andes mountain range, Arequipa is a city rich in history and cultural heritage. Founded in 1540 by the Spanish conquistador Garcí Manuel de Carvajal, it was the first permanent European settlement in the region. Over the centuries, Arequipa has grown into a vibrant and bustling metropolis, serving as the seat of the Constitutional Court of Peru and a hub for commerce and industry. Misti Stratovolcano, an active volcano, stands proudly in the background of this image. With its snow-capped peak reaching over 5,800 meters (19,029 feet) above sea level, Misti is a constant reminder of the raw power and beauty of nature that surrounds Arequipa. The volcano's last eruption occurred in 1658, but it remains a source of fascination and wonder for locals and visitors alike. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Arequipa and its iconic volcanic backdrop. It invites us to explore the rich history, culture, and natural wonders of this remarkable city and its surroundings.
