Rest and relaxation in Arequipa
This is a top pick! Day 18 January 21st - I wake up on the overnight bus to some movie about a Raccoon picking on a guy who moved his family to the woodlands. Confusing to say the least. Last night we stopped at Ica and so Romeo and Juliet had to return to their original seats, it was getting to the point of throwing up all over them.
I was expecting to …
Monasteries and Mummies
The journey to Arequipa from Santiago was a long one - 28hrs by bus to Arica in the north of Chile, a taxi-colectivo to the border, cross the border into Peru, taxi-colectivo to Tacna and finally an 8hr bus to Arequipa.
Arequipa is a beautiful city. In the centre around the plaza de armas were old ornate buildings and cathedrals. The only …
PERU!
Um 4:00 komme ich an, und teile ein Taxi zu einem Hostel mit einer Litauerin (oder Litauin oder Litin oder...). Das Hostel hat die unglaubliche Bewertung von 94% im Internet. Ich erwarte mir einiges und werde nicht enttäuscht. Hängematten, zuverlässig heißes Wasser (erstes Mal seit 7 Tagen), gratis Frühstuck, gute Betten und sauber. Nur mein 8er …
Oldschool-Rasur + Rafting
Vormittag: Aktion Buba-Bart. Der Bart muss weg, aber mit Stil. Nach einer Stunde finde ich einen Friseur, der sowas kann. Er heißt Jose. Die Rasur ist ziemlich unangenehm, ich verstehe jetzt die Erfindung von Gillette Mach 4. Jose ist nett, aber will er mir nicht doch die Kehle durchschneiden? Nach 30 Minuten fertig, und...Babyface.
Um 14:00 …
Mall und Markt
Meine Converse sind zerfallen, vollständig. Ich brauche neue, das wird schwierig. Ich bleibe ewig beim Frühstück hängen, dafür kommen dann vier von meinen neuen Freunden mit mir Schuhe kaufen. Wir nehmen einen öffentlichen Bus (Minivan mit 16 Sitzen) zum Einkaufszentrum.
Die einzigen Schuhe in 46 sind von Adidas, 70er Jahre Style. Es gibt auf …

“ set up perfectly ”
Reviewed Nov 10, 2012
great location, enough of everything, 2 kitchens lots of showers, washing sink on the roof, comfy beds, great social areas, not too noisy, I know I'm old, great outdoor space. Really well set up but not a "party hostel" highly recommend.

“ Very helpful... ”
Reviewed Mar 10, 2012
Felt very at home here, received a proper welcome and tour of the place, sorted out the tours we wanted straight away. Great TV also. Convenient for the centre of town if you don't mind a 5 minute walk. Felt very secure there and they made us very welcome to stay the last day for our 9pm bus out.

Fabulous facilities, Friendly staff, private single room was small though and games room is a little cramped but very good choice for some relaxation. Free transfer to city in the morning from 9-10.30am

“ The best hostel ever!! ”
Reviewed Jan 21, 2011
Yes, it has moved outside of the central part of town, but it is only a 4 sole taxi ride away. The hostel is very friendly, very safe with excellent security, two of the biggest tvs ever for a bit of tv or dvd watching. A cracking kitchen and a nearby supermarket.
This hostel has such a friendly atmosphere and you end up making friends with everyone and anyone.
Very much recommended!!!!!
