Arequipa is the second-most populous city in Peru after Lima, the capital of the Arequipa Region, with roughly 1 million residents. It runs on Peru Time (PET, UTC-5) year-round, as Peru does not observe daylight saving. Set high in the southern Andes at about 2,300 metres above sea level, the city is ringed by volcanoes, most prominently the symmetrical cone of El Misti. Arequipa is widely known as the White City, La Ciudad Blanca, because many of its historic buildings are constructed from sillar, a pale volcanic stone, giving the colonial centre a distinctive bright appearance. That historic centre, blending Spanish and indigenous craftsmanship, was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. Arequipa is a major commercial and industrial centre for southern Peru.
