Arequipa Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

Today's entry is copied from a long email Nancy sent our family:

Dear Sweet Family:

Thank you for the Happy Birthdays and Happy Mothers Days. Since this trip is our joint birthday present to each other, we bought ourselves a box of truffles. We ate most of them on the roof of our hotel in Arequipa. We could see the cathedral, th...

We arrived in Puno in the late afternoon and booked our 2 day tour to the islands of Lake Titicaca. We went out for supper in the evening and settled for an early night. At 7.40 the next morning we were picked up and taken to the port in Puno. We jumped on a boat which after 1 and a half hours would take us to the islands of Uros - the floating...

We took an overnight bus to Cusco. Dad went to the hostel because he wasn´t feeling good. I got train tickets to Machu Picchu. I decided to go to some local ruins by myself. I took a Combi (Toyota tercel) with 8 people in it to the intersection for Maras. I then had to find a ride to Maras, then to Moray. Moray is a series of concentric circles ...

Estimada Tomaca, Te'n tornes. Te'n tornes i deixes de donar pel cul d'una puta vegada... L'expedició pròpiament dita ja ha mort, ara et diposes a fer le teu camí de nou, aquell que ni tu saps on et portarà i te la CHUPA! Però que d'alguna manera vas venir a buscar i qui sap si inclús l'has trobat. Espero que sí. Cadascú és com és i tu ets un mul...

We survived our second overnight bus ride in a row but barely. I (Becca) got sick on the bus. We think it was something I ate or drank that day but I could not keep any food down and it just went south from there. We were planing on doing a trek around Arequipa and then go back for new years but we decided to stay in Arequipa till I got better....

I was quite late leaving the internet cafe and had to pick up my bag and jump in a taxi to the station. Traffic was heaving and I was seriously doubting that I would make my bus. I ran with my bag through the station and found the company I'd booked but they sent me elsewhere to another company. I looked on the ticket the tourist office had give...

A ten hour bus ride took me from Cusco to Arequipa, Peru. If you are taller than 5 feet, I highly recommend not taking such a long bus ride with Cromotex. This was by far the most uncomfortable bus ride I have been on during the whole trip. There was absolutely no place for my legs. It's times like these it would be convenient to have detachable...

30 Minuten geflogen und in d** Wüste gelandet. Nach Cusco sind wir nun hi** in Arequipa, wo 365 Tage im Jahr die Sonne scheint. Arequipa wird auch die Weisse Stadt genannt, was auf die schönen Kolonialbauten zurückzuführen ist. Eine dies** Bauten haben wir mit dem riesigen Santa Catalina Klost** (eine kleine Stadt in d** Stadt) näh** betrachtet....

Arequipa and the Colca Canyon. WE HAVE MOVED FROM THE COAST TO AREQUIPA HIGH IN THE ANDES SURROUNED BY GIANT SNOWCAPPED VOLCANOES. ONE OF THEM CALLED "MISTY" IS STILL ACTIVE.WE SAW LLAMAS AND ALPACA WITH LONG EARS AND NECKS. WE WENT HIGH INTO THE ANDES, OVER 15,000 FEET ON A GREAT DESERT PLATEAU CALLED THE "ALTO PLANO" SURROUNDED BY HUGE SNOWCAP...
