On a quiet street in the heart of Arequipa’s historic district, the hotel is just steps from the entrance of the famed Santa Catalina Convent and only 3 blocks from the Plaza de Armas. In the midst of Arequipa’s top restaurants, sights and shopping, the hotel is only15 minutes by taxi from Arequipa’s Rodríguez Ballón airport and 10 minutes from the bus station.

Arequipa, Peru’s second-largest city, is renowned for its long sunny days, lovely main square, collection of beautiful colonial buildings built of sillar (white volcanic stone), and clear views of snowcapped volcanoes that ring the city.

Arequipa is 1,020 km (635 mi) south of Lima & 300 km (185 mi) southwest of Puno/Lake Titicaca. It can be reached on daily flights of an hour or less from Lima, Juliaca (Puno) & Cusco. Arequipa is less than 3 hours from Colca Canyon, Peru’s astounding “Valley of Wonders.”
