SIMBig 2026
SIMBig 2026 will be held in Arequipa, Peru. Located in southern Peru at the foot of the majestic Misti volcano, Arequipa is a city renowned for its stunning architecture and vibrant cultural heritage. Nicknamed the 'White City' thanks to its historic buildings constructed from white volcanic sillar stone, Arequipa offers visitors a remarkable blend of colonial charm and natural beauty. Its historic centre, which is listed by UNESCO, showcases elegant churches, monasteries and mansions, while the nearby Colca Canyon - one of the deepest in the world - provides visitors with breathtaking landscapes and the opportunity to observe the majestic Andean condor soaring overhead. With its pleasant climate, rich gastronomy and impressive scenery, Arequipa is one of Peru's most captivating destinations.
