Santa Teresa monastery

Far from being as impressive as the one of Santa Catalina, the monastery of Santa Teresa, still in Arequipa (Peru), is a quiet place to enjoy, especially after a long day started before dawn to catch a glimpse of the Andean condors. The run-down, moldy walls even give the small building with its unique cloister a distinctive cachet.
