Arequipa, Ice Maidens and Nuns

When we arrived in Arequipa we decided that after so much time in the outdoors we thought we should attempt to do some insidey, cultural sorts of things. So we went to meet Juanita the Ice Maiden, the frozen 'mummy' who was found on El Misti, the active volcano that looms over Arequipa. She is a sad little creature, sacrificed at 14 years old about 500 years ago by the Incas as a sacrifice to the mountain gods. She now huddles in a glass sided freezer, still dressed in what she wore when she died.
Our cultural side also lead us to Santa Catalina, an enormous maze of a convent that was almost self sufficient in its heyday. We spent hours getting lost and hopelessly following arrows around its city like depths.
