Mon. 9th Aug. 1st day of Coference.

Behind Arequipa is a chain of volcanoes, this one is 'El Misti'. Apparently earthquakes are quite common too.
The meeting I attended was the 8th World Congress for High Altitude Medicine & Physiology. A very good scientific programme looking at everything from working at high altitude to cellular function at the molecular level and new research on genetics. Fun if you're into that kind of stuff.

Arequipa was a nice old town with Spanish colonial architecture.
