The 5 Best Concerts & Shows in Arequipa, Arequipa Region
In Peru's second-most populous city, aka "The White City," stunning colonial buildings made of pearly sillar stone vie for attention with the surrounding volcanoes and snow-capped peaks of the western Andes. Founded in 1540, it's a smorgasbord of mansions and museums. The top attraction, 215,000-square-foot Santa Catalina Monastery, is like its own city within a city, complete with fountains and cobblestone streets. Arequipa is the favorite base for visiting Colca Canyon and its massive condors.

We are wary of any kind of culture show aimed at tourists and went to Casona 7 only because our Peruvian in-laws had booked it for us and for them because they'd heard it was worth going to. We ended up having a really cracking night out! It's very small and there are not many dancers, but what it lacks in size it more than makes up for in energy, enthusiasm and the quality of the welcome and hospitality. The seating is in the form of a few candlelit tables around an oblong room with the stage on one side. During intervals you go for food in an adjoining room where a hot buffet is served - you keep going back for more. The food was lovely, the service flawless and the drinks prices very reasonable. Casona 7 functions as a centre which offers a range of social and cultural activities for the local community - it's not the rip-off joint I feared we might end up in but a genuine local provider of entertainment for locals and for tourists. We loved every aspect of the show: the dances, the costumes and the music and at one point we were invited to take part which was huge fun.

One of the most funny places in town, next to the Santa Catalina's Monastery. This places stays in a warm colonial House. Qochamama is opened diarialy except sundays, but the real party stars in Thursday till Saturday. Also you can find Live Music, Art performance and Dj performance and even food. Always good music and nice people. Uno de los lugares más divertidos de la ciudad, al costado del Monasterio de Santa Catalina. Estamos ubicados en una casona colonial en el Centro. Abrimos todos los días, menos domingo; pero la real juerga es de jueves a sábado. Puedes encontrar música en vivo, DJ, incluso comida ¡Te esperamos!

Theatre. Play. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday of each month. Plays begins at 19:30 h. Two blocks from the main square , placed in the most commercial street. Night life. Cheap and good. Highly recommended for Spanish speakers.
