• Arequipa

    We arrived after a 10 hour night bus trip to the city of Arequipa. Arequipa is just behind the Andes and totally surrounded with volcanos. Also, there is a tectonic plate next to the city so earthquakes are common. Anyways, we arrived in the morning, feeling dirty and a bit tired and came to an amazing hotel.

    This hotel is so luxurious compared to what we had last week. Amazing bed, perfect service and finally fruit for breakfast. It was great, clean and modern. We went for a free city tour and got to know more about the city. It looks like a Spanish city, lots of colonial buildings, beautiful flowers and clean streets. The temperature is great, 25 degrees more or less. Totally different from Cusco. Also, people speak Spanish instead of Quechua haha.
    In the afternoon we went to the hotel for a siesta and booked some tours. We went for a walk in a really nice neighborhood called: Yanahuara.
