El Rio Chili cuts through the city of Arequipa. There are many bridges that cross the river and so far, in order to get downtown, we have used two: Puente Grau and Puente Bolognesi. Both of which are one-way, narrow, made of stone and pretty high above the water. El Rio Chili is also the water supply for the irrigation channels mentioned in the previous post.

| This is Puente Bolognesi, which is the closest bridge to the city center and the Plaza De Armas. We more often use Puente Grau as it is closer to our side of town. Puente Grau is the next bridge that is barely visible in the distance in this picture. |
