We arrived in Arequipa, the ¨white city¨, in the morning and headed to our hostel, El Caminante Class. At 7,700ft we began to notice that climbing 2 flights of stairs to the hostel left us a little breathless. Later in the day we learned that there had been a rollover bus accident involving a double-decker night bus on the roads from Lima to Arequipa involving a different company, we were thankful for our choice of bus!
