Arequipa is one of the most historically rich Peruvian cities. Evidence of the city's colonial history is evident in extant Spanish manorial houses, monasteries and convents, some of which date to the sixteenth century. However, Arequipa's history is deeper and more complex than this colonial architecture implies.
On August 15th, 1540, the modern city of Arequipa was founded by Garcí Manuel de Carbajal, a representative of the infamous conquistador Francisco Pizarro. During the Spanish colonial period, which lasted until Jose de San Martín's declaration of Peruvian independence in July of 1821, agriculture remained Arequipa's principal economic activity, as European crops including wine, liquors and olive oil were successfully established in its fertile valley.

The Cotahuasi Canyon to the northwest is a deeper canyon at 11,488 ft (3,501 m). Since they are such major features of the landscape, the Colca and Cotahuasi canyons are both easily recognizable in even low-resolution satellite photos of the region. The Colca Valley is a colorful Andean valley with towns founded in Spanish Colonial times and formerly inhabited by the Collaguas and the Cabanas. The local people still maintain ancestral traditions and continue to cultivate the pre-Inca stepped terraces.
