Who
will be you host? Language-wise, non-Spanish speakers will not have a problem with me: I am fluent in German, French and English. |
My main job is teaching
(Spanish) and running a small Spanish Language Academy (EDEAQ),
located in a listed colonial building one block from the main
square („Plaza de Armas”) in Arequipa. My school is
certified by the Peruvian Ministry of Education, and the intensive
courses are recognised as Bildungsurlaub („educational leave
of absence”) in a series of states in Germany. We (i.e.
my school) are members of the Arequipa Chamber of Commerce as
well as of the Association of Hotels and Restaurants of Arequipa.

In your first mail (French or German written is ok too), entering your reservation request, please let us know when (date and approximate time of arrival) you will arrive in Arequipa and how many days you plan to stay. And do not forget to give your full name (first name and family name) and to indicate the number of people you are travelling with. You will get a feedback by e-mail within 36 hours. - Arequipa and its surroundings are beautiful and interesting must-see tourist attractions; so plan enough time to spend here.

We live on the top floor of a modern building on a small hill („Cerro San Jacinto”) in the Cayma area in Arequipa. This is a very quiet neighbourhood; the air quality is excellent and we enjoy splendid views, also from our roof terrace: southwards to the city of Arequipa, northwards to the Andes (Chachani, Misti).
The view from there - as well as from the living/dining room downstairs - is just fantastic.
If not discovering Arequipa and its surroundings, you can of course stay in the large living/dining room as well as in the small living room, where you will find Cable-TV (including BBC, CNN in English and Spanish, Deutsche Welle, Télévision Française, RAI, Televisión Española, Peruvian and other Latin American Channels, Movie Channels, Sports Channels, etc.) and a lot of books (including dictionaries, etc.). We also maintain quite an impressive collection of CDs and cassettes with Latin American music as well as of the classical repertoire (Mozart in particular). We have two computers - meaning that you have free access to the Internet.
The package price includes breakfast, laundry service and the arrival transfer on check-in day from Arequipa International Airport (AQP). Non-use of the transfer service does not entitle customers to a reimbursement. When arriving on check-in day by bus, we reimburse the effective cost of the transfer (maximum: the equivalent of USD 3.00), and we shall let you know beforehand which taxi you should take at the bus terminal (or at the airport) to get safely to your Arequipa home. – Please note that a stay of less than two consecutive days does not include neither laundry service nor transfer(s).

A meal (we are more than glad to prepare typical Peruvian dishes and/or Arequipa cuisine) includes soup or salad or an appetiser (starter) plus a main course, and a dessert (fresh fruit). Mineral water (1 bottle of 500ml per meal) and coffee/tea (complimentary) included. – Vegetarians are welcome.
Travellers with children are welcome.
As your tenants, we shall, of course, assist you in your travel undertakings in and around Arequipa.
Two of the world's greatest natural wonders are found in the Arequipa region: the Colca Canyon
and the Cotahuasi Canyon. – Colca Canyon: we shall help you to get you a suitable package in
terms of schedule and price and will inform you about possible special offers. – Cotahuasi
Canyon: we shall provide advise how you can organise a trip on your own to the deepest canyon in
the world (3354 metres).
We can also provide you with non-expensive short-term memberships in the well-equipped “Club Internacional de Arequipa,” a first-class establishment within walking distance both from our house and from downtown (facilities include swimming/use of pools, tennis, gymnasium/aerobics, soccer, track and field, etc.).
Those who would like to know more about Arequipa (history, architecture, sights, leisure and sports, excursions, typical cuisine, etc.) are welcome to open „City, Leisure and Sports.” More practical information relating to Peru as such (flights, climate, money change, etc.) is provided through „Hints And How To Get There.” And those who are looking for a good introduction into Peruvian history, politics and relevant sociological and societal aspects will find comprehensive information (“Country and People”) that my Swiss husband (he is a University of Zurich trained sociologist) has written and compiled. Please note that the three mentioned links have been elaborated for my Language Academy (EDEAQ) – so do not be confused when you read in some rare occasions about students, just replace the word “student” through “guest!”
