From its balconies, located at 2,343 meters high, you can see the White City that contrasts with the natural wonders that surround it being these the Misti volcano, the Chanchani and the Pichu Pichu.

Another attraction of the Yanahuara viewpoint are its engravings in sillar, by illustrious people from the city of Arequipa. Built in the 19th century, the Yanahuara viewpoint is next to the church of San Juan de Yanahuara, a Baroque monument built in the year 1750.
