Tierra Viva Arequipa Plaza
The hotel is very elegant. The staff is very helpful. I needed ice a few times. They also were kind enough because they had room to let us come in a couple of hours early when we were dropped off. Breakfast was above average (order the pancakes ) and we had a good time nicely located.
