Arequipa is built almost entirely from sillar, a white volcanic stone from the three volcanoes surrounding it. The Santa Catalina convent inside the city covers about 20,000 square metres and functioned as a walled town of its own for four centuries.
The clock: Arequipa keeps UTC−5. El Misti, the volcano above it, rises to 5,822 metres, and its last major eruption was in the 15th century.
Arequipa lies at 71.5°W. Its time zone, UTC−5, is built around the 75°W meridian. The 3.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 14 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:46 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC−5 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 13h 6m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 9m. The swing between them is 1h 57m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Arequipa the sun comes up earliest on 24 November at 05:04, while the latest sunset waits until 21 January at 18:25. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Arequipa that civil twilight runs about 22 minutes at the equinox.
