If you are looking for a comfortable stay in Arequipa for more than a week, I can recommend a spacious, clean & furnished apartment a few blocks off of the main plaza. It is perfect for 1-3 people who are staying in Arequipa for work or volunteerwork.
Christofer is a native of Arequipa and just started up his tourism business. He does all-inclusive 3-day tours through Arequipa and Cuzco for a very good price.
Experience Peru through the eyes of a local!
