Arequipa has a total population of more than 904,000 people and is the second most populous city in Peru. There are currently six stakes in Arequipa, there has not been a new stake in Arequipa since 1997 when two stakes were created in this city. The distance from Lima to Arequipa is 476 miles, and can take many hours to travel to visit the temple.
The location of temples is inspired and revealed to the prophet through the Lord. Temples are only built when the church members are spiritually ready and willing to support a temple. This being said, based on distance to travel to the nearest temple, the number of stakes in this city, and the duration in which these stakes have been in place in order to create a strong foundation of members, the city of Arequipa would be a prime location for a future temple of the Lord.
