The old convent

Posted by aranobilis 23 September 2007

If the weather is fine, the convent is a nice place to wander around for a reasonable entrance fee. It is an interesting insight into the past and the living conditions, plus some good photo opportunities.

The Convent is near the main square in the center of Araquipa. It is well advertised and signposted so you can't miss it.

Cruz del sur

Posted by AliD 10 September 2007

It's a bus company that has fab buses across the whole of Peru. Do not beliew the Lonely Planet that says it is not safe to travel by bus at night. There is a host on the bus who you can call at any time. They look after you, feed you and the security is great.

Casablanca Hostel

Posted by AliD 20 August 2007

Probably the best place I have stayed in in Peru. The rooms are clean, simple and extremely stylish. There is a roof terrace for catching some rays after a hard days sightseeing.
