Founded in 1540 and known as “The White City”, this neocolonial city of volcanic stone lies 2380 meters above sea level in a fertile valley, surrounded by the desert and wedged between the Andes and the Pacific coast. Located in the Selva Alegre neighborhood, Costa del Sol Wyndham Arequipa is one of the city’s five star hotels. Its 36,000 square meters are surrounded by extensive gardens, and its privileged location offers guests a spectacular view of the volcanoes that dominate the urban landscape of the city.
At the national level, there are 43.5% of children suffering from malnutrition.

Paucartambo (65.9%), Quispicanchis (65.1%), Cusco (62.6%), Acomayo (61.5%), Espinar (61.5%) and Chumbivilcas (60.9% ).
