Lovely market,  with very nice architecture
Una pequeña cuidad dentro de la cuidad. El monasterio me sorprendió y de buena forma. Se recomienda pagar por un guía ya que si haces el recorrido solo no entenderás nada. 
Lo que mas me gusto: los hornos, la cocina en general, y esta calle. Calle Córdoba, blanca con las características flores rojas.

Though José Luis Bustamante y Rivero may not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Mall Aventura Porongoche and Parque Lambramani.

José Luis Bustamante y Rivero
I don't think my GPS location on this is correct, but it is off of the road between the sacred valley and Cuzco.  Anyway, it's an ancient Incan terraced seed breeding farm for the royals.  Evidently, they bred hundreds of varieties of potatoes alone.  Terrific hike.

Miraflores

While Miraflores may not have many sights to explore, venturing just a little farther will lead you to top things to see and do like Arequipa Stadium and Parque Lambramani.
