From Nazca to Arequipa
We left Nazca at 7.00 am. A long day of travelling ahead.
In advance I knew it would take about 12 hours (including some short stops) to get to our next destination,

Big advantage of this hotel is the location, only six blocks (less than a ten minutes walk) away from the marvellous Plaza de Armas in Arequipa.
The hotel feels very safe (a walled garden with a guard at the closed gate). Nice garden with swimming pool.
I had a rather basic room, with a private terrace, but all rooms are different. Free use of the internet. Money exchange in a cute little hut in the garden! Should have taken a picture of it :-)
Buffet style breakfast at the terrace. Nice spot!
