About
Yanahuara keeps the feel of a traditional village, with narrow lanes of white sillar houses and a richly carved eighteenth-century church. Its mirador is lined with arches inscribed with the words of local poets, and it offers the classic view of the snow-capped volcano El Misti rising above the city.
Best time to go: Go early in the morning, when the air is clearest and El Misti stands out perfectly framed by the arches.
