Planning a trip or fancy a freebie? These are some websites and services I love:īooking.

If you're time-sensitive, there are some pretty good flying options.

They were safe, efficient and easy to book online. I took an overnight bus from Cusco with Cruz del Sur. Vegan and sushi may not be used in a sentence too often, it was so good I went there twice!! Getting to Arequipa If you're looking for something a little healthier then El Buda Profano may be right up your street. Try the beansprouts with salted fish too (if you like salted fish). Admittedly when I came back from my hike in the Colca Canyon, I had little motivation to whip up a culinary delight and opted for some of the best burgers in town at AQP Burger. A happy hour was running 17:00-19:00 when we. I did cook a lot in Arequipa given the abundance of fresh ingredients available from the market. How to get there: The market has several entrances, the main one being on Calle San Camilo. Exotic fruits lined across rows of fresh juice stalls, fresh meats hanging aimlessly, pretty much any kind of potato you could ever want, colourful veggies and lunch stands where you can give your tastebuds a tingle from the local cuisine. Mercado San Camilo is one of the best markets I've been to. I love markets and my flimsy stomach often means I need to cook on my travels, especially after a period of eating out every day. Wander the Markets of Arequipaįresh smoothie shakes for breakfast were the norm. A two-day hike, where you camp one night on the volcano, if you get to the top, you'll have fun skiing back down to the bottom. Acclimatisation to altitude is necessary for this one. Misti towers over Arequipa at over 5800 metres. One that I really did consider but decided against it this time due to the dangers involved and still considering myself a novice hiker at the time. To be warned, hiking Misti is not for the faint of heart. Views from above If you’re feeling daring…
