Santa Catalina 223-A, Cercado Arequipa, Peru, 51-54-218440
Hoi luitjes Arequipa wordt ook wel de witte stad genoemd, naar de kleur van de typische vulkaansteen waaruit het oude centrum is opgetrokken. Wij hebben drie dagen genoten van deze gezellige stad: lekker eten, uitgaan, en vooral veel rondwandelen. Kerken gaan op een gegeven moment wel op elkaar lijken ;) Het klooster van Santa Cathalina is een appart bezoek waard: een klooster ter grootte van een dorp, midden in het centrum van de stad, ommuurd en wel. Sommige nonnen (de welgestelde) hadden m...
Arequipa, Peru basmaartjeI took the Flores 'Imperial' bus service as recommended by my peruvian friend. Scheduled departure, 9:00, actual departure, 9:45. Met a lady, Maria, from Virginia who is retired massage therapist and purveyor of alternative health treatments who now resides in Arequipa and is volunteering as a teacher in a woman's prison. The bus was stopped at some kind of customs 'control' stop where we had to disembark while the policia searched some of the luggage. I was told this sort of thing doesn't ha...

Arequipa, Arequipa, Peru avi_einat... that will need changing when I get to Chile, I decided to treat myself to a nice lunch. Stopping into a grill restaurant, I ordered what I thought was going to be a nice plate of mixed grilled meats. What I got turned out to be a platter of meat consisting of two T-bone steaks, a thick slab of pig skin, a piece of chicken, some beef heart, two sausages, a huge slab of pork, an entire heaping plate of french fries, a small salad, and a liter ...

Arequipa, Peru kmtour09... children. They do not have a bathroom. Their sponsor bought them a toilet which sits inside of a makeshift brick wall.<br><br>Josette used to work in the cardshop, before the disease had progressed this far. Now, she and Juan Alberto stay at home and work on the cards together at home. They do stitched cards. Basically, they can maneuver the cards around using what still works of their hands, and then they use their mouths to help them pull ...
Arequipa, Peru forbes.thompson... br><br> Later being Saturday night I head out with a girl from the hostel and a local working both at the hostel and a bar. So no surprise he convinced Kateland to go to his bar that he promises is better than the one we intended to check out. Well turns out a b-day party pretty much had taken over the place and after awoke I choose to leave them to check out other bars on the main drag ...
Arequipa, Peru barry0fisher... Not exactly as nice as home but it was good to try some different food really!<br>We got back Thursday night and packed for the next day as we had booked a 2 day tour. We were to leave our backpacks in the hostel and collect them on the Saturday when we got back from the tour and then we had booked an overnight bus to Cusco on the Saturday night. Bus collection time for topur was 7.30am on the Friday morning so we had an early night.
Arequipa, Peru sharorArrived in the depths of night really late only 1 am but we have been having very early nights. Took a cab ride at breakneck speed through deserted industrial wastelands and arrived to a spookily half lit lane. The entrance to the courtyard looked really scary, we were told no booking for us but thern let in and ushered into a sparse room went to ...
Arequipa, Peru lynneanddaveAnd off to Arequipa we went, Peru´s second largest city, also known as the white city due to all those buildings made from sillar (volcanic rock). Incredibly excited we were to finally be in some warmer weather, and despite some cool evenings with the knee high llama wool socks out, it was still wonderful to not be chilled to the bone every night! <br>We managed to find ourselves a cool little hostel a block away from the main square, where we appeared to be the only guests not ...
