Cayma might not have many top sights, but Yanahuara Plaza and Santa Catalina Monastery are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Cayma
I don't think my GPS location on this is correct, but it is off of the road between the sacred valley and Cuzco.  Anyway, it's an ancient Incan terraced seed breeding farm for the royals.  Evidently, they bred hundreds of varieties of potatoes alone.  Terrific hike.

Arequipa is a big town with lots to do in and out of the city. It is worth your time to take a walking tour of the city just to get oriented. Give yourself plenty of time to do everything you want to.
