Surely, while searching for information about Arequipa , you have come across the phrase that it is a city situated in the shadow of volcanoes. It is also often called the white city. In both cases, you have a rather guess at the source of both terms. Arequipa is actually located at the foot of the volcanoes (Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu), whose snow-capped peaks dominate the landscape of the area.

Its old town, with 500 colonial-style buildings , is inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List . Many objects were built of white, volcanic rock called sillar. Arequipa also allows for the power of culinary experiences. And all this is due to the numerous, excellent restaurants operating in the very center. The city's surroundings are fertile lands and magnificent valleys. And 100 km northwest of Arequipa is the famous Colca Canyon.

For whom?

Visit Arequipa if you like sightseeing but appreciate the beautiful mountain views at the same time. The city guarantees both. A stroll through the historic center is a one-of-a-kind experience. Fans of trying local flavors will be able to take advantage of the restaurant's rich offer.

Le Foyer Arequipa

Le Foyer is a charming guesthouse located in the very center of the city. It's about 3 steps to the main square. The building in which the guesthouse is located is decorated in a colonial style. We liked the interior very much. The room was small but tastefully decorated and very cozy. The advantage was the balcony and the view from the terrace where the restaurant was located.

Katari Hotel at Plaza de Armas

In my opinion there is no better hotel in Arequipa. Mainly because it is located in the heart of the city, ideally opposite the cathedral. The view of the city buildings from the terrace was very impressive at any time of the day. The hotel, of course, offers a very high standard. The rooms are large, neat. I recommend!

Even though it's a hostel, I can absolutely recommend it to anyone. It is quite an intimate facility, with a beautiful garden with a swimming pool. An ideal place to relax, but also a perfect base for exploring the city. There are also private rooms and dormitories. Good breakfast included.
Villa Sillar
Fantastic

Villa Sillar is an absolutely charming place. It is located close to the center. The service is very nice and helpful. They willingly answered all our questions, recommended local pubs and advised us on sightseeing. The price is very favorable and the conditions are great.

Las Torres de Ugarte

Great guesthouse. I have very fond memories of staying there. Great view of the city from the roof terrace. The room was decorated in such a way that it was very comfortable to use. Good value for money. Excellent breakfasts. Close to the most important attractions.
