This is a great experience and professional cooking class in a great kitchen set up!! My husband & I enjoyed ourselves and even though we love to cook, we still learnt new things from Art. He demonstrates each step & then lets you prepare each ingredient and he gives you the recipes to take home. Looking forward to recreating this at home! Wish we would have had more time to do another class with him. I highly recommend this class and I would certainly go again if I come back! Thanks Art!!

I returned to Arequipa after a few years and the first thing I did was to book in another massage with Paddy. He truly is a leader of massage and therapy in Peru. After a few days trekking in the Colca Canyon this was the perfect reward. Worth every penny.

Our guide suggested we visited here on our free afternoon and it was a really great way to spend a couple of hours. Very quiet, we had most galleries and the church to ourselves. Lots of interesting and unusual things on display, definitely worth going to.

This museum’s main attraction is Juanita, whose ritually sacrificed and frozen body was unearthed in a volcanic explosion. This young girl’s miraculously preserved DNA has provided priceless insight into the Inca civilization.

I visited the museum today and took the guided tour, I ended up doubling the amount I was going to tip the guide because she was so informative about the ice maiden Juanita and the other sacrificial children. The collection is small but fascinating how it all links together. I'm not much of a museum person but I highly recommend this one, especially if you plan to trek the Colca canyon.

Peru has one of the best cuisines in the world and in Arequipa, one of the culinary centers of the country, you can learn to make some of the most famous dishes yourself. Alejandra, our jefa de cocina, taught us how to make causa, lomo saltado and a delicious dessert which we enjoyed with a refreshing pisco sour in the garden of la casa de avila. A must for everyone who enjoys good food and likes to cook!
