We stayed at La Casa de Avila the night before our trek, left our bags there during our trek and rented a room for the day we returned. All in all, our experience was very positive.

Excellent staff - well-informed, professional, helpfull, pleasant, smiling and warm - that is what makes this hostel the place to stay while in Arequipa.

Excellent service and a really nice view to the garden from the second floor. There's a really nice and beauty turtle which is called as Paca :D Nice expirience
