Tree of Yanahuara

A beautiful tree near the Plaza de Yanahuara in Arequipa. Through the arches we can see a large part of the city of Arequipa and the area: colored houses, mountains and even the Misti volcano, here completely on the left through the door.

On the arch “Noveno Arco” we can read:

Arequipa la tierra de libres unida a los pies de un volcán: vives libre y feliz cuando vives prefiriendo ser libre a tu pan.

Alberto Guillen

And the other arch “Octavo Arco” on the right:

Místico Yanahurara, con huertas de Judea, cercado de ruinosos y rústicos torales por los que asoman los árboles frutales, adornando tus calles con paz de aldea.

Percy Gibson
