Right in the historic centre of picturesque Arequipa, Los Andes has rooms with free Wi-Fi only 30 metres from the main square. Guests can relax with a book from the library and enjoy a drink in the sun terrace. This is a luxury hostel compared to the other hostels in Arequipa -- modern, spacious, quiet, always clean, an excellent free brekkie, a good self-catering kitchen, and 1 min from the Cathedral. It's mostly younger couples and a few backpackers in the female dorms, so don't expect parties or pub crawls. And while most rooms are not ensuite, the shared baths are very nice.

Located in Cabanaconde and with Colca Canyon reachable within 26 km, Cabanaconde Backpackers - Plaza de Armas provides a shared lounge, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

Guest rooms at the hostel are equipped with a shared bathroom equipped with a bidet. Situated right on the plaza square, just on the other side to where the bus arrives. Family are welcoming and friendly. Breakfast is good. Room on the smallish side but you are only in your room at night. The shared bathroom was right outside the bedroom and the shower was hot and fantastic. Highly recommend.
