The perfect small town?
Arequipa is the perfect size, not too small not too big. You can walk around most of it in a day but it is so chilled out and beautiful but yet there is still plenty to do. Unlike some touristy towns that are overwhelmed with tour companies, this one has enough to offer choice but not so many that they take over the city. You can visit the Colca …
Una ciudad blanca y un cañón muy verde
Arequipa is known as "Ciudad Blanca" or "White City" as so many buildings here are built using the beautiful white stone produced by the local volcanoes. As a result of this it is a very elegant city which is home to one of the most beautiful plazas of all the places I have been to on this trip, although a protest against the local government …
Flight of the Condors

“ Cute and quiet ”
Reviewed Oct 8, 2010
Koala's was a little difficult to find at first but once the taxi driver opened his eyes and slowed down a little it was easy to spot on our third drive past. The hostel is quiet, clean and cheap. Very quiet, me and my friend where the only people there but that was probably due to the time of year. The staff were great, very friendly and chatty and made you feel welcome. I would have liked to stay longer.
