Santa Catalina Monastery in Arequipa — FAQ

What is the Santa Catalina Monastery?
Santa Catalina is a huge, still-active 16th-century convent in central Arequipa, a maze of colourful streets, courtyards and cells that functioned as a self-contained city for cloistered nuns.
Is the Santa Catalina Monastery worth visiting?
Yes — its vivid ochre and blue lanes, courtyards and history make it Arequipa’s most beautiful and unmissable site, ideal with a guide to bring the stories to life.
How long do you need at Santa Catalina?
Allow about 1.5–2 hours to explore the monastery’s streets, courtyards and museum, longer if you love photography.
