Arequipa is one of Peru’s most captivating destinations — a city of volcanic stone architecture, colonial grandeur, and extraordinary culinary tradition, set against the dramatic backdrop of El Misti and the surrounding Andean peaks.
Beyond the city itself, the nearby Colca Canyon, one of the deepest gorges on Earth and a legendary habitat of the Andean condor, draws travelers from around the world seeking one of South America’s most awe-inspiring natural experiences.
Choosing the right hotel for this region requires a different set of considerations than elsewhere in Peru.
Arequipa rewards travelers who stay close to its historic center, where the great cathedral, the Santa Catalina Monastery, and the city’s celebrated restaurants are all within reach on foot.
The Colca Canyon, by contrast, calls for lodgings that are deeply immersed in the landscape itself — properties where the setting, the silence, and the proximity to nature are as important as the amenities inside.
The hotels featured on this page have been selected by Fertur Peru Travel on the basis of the same three principles that guide all of our recommendations: convenience, value, and service.
Convenience means a location suited to your itinerary, whether that is the heart of Arequipa’s historic center or the banks of the Colca River.
Value means properties that deliver a quality of experience commensurate with their price across every category, from comfortable three-star lodges to world-class five-star retreats.
Service means attentive, professional hospitality that understands the needs of travelers exploring one of Peru’s most remarkable regions.
The result is a carefully curated selection that spans a range of budgets, styles, and locations — from polished urban hotels to intimate ecolodges at altitude — all chosen because they consistently deliver the standard of stay that Fertur Peru Travel’s clients expect.
