About us

What is Arequipa.net?

Arequipa.net is the reference guide for Arequipa, Peru's second largest city and one of South America's most important destinations. We publish practical, independent, and up-to-date information about travel, food, daily life, history, neighborhoods, events, and resources for expats and digital nomads.

The site is available in five languages — Spanish, English, French, Chinese, and Japanese — to serve the international community that visits and lives in Arequipa.

Who is it for?

• Tourists — what to see, where to eat, how to get to Colca Canyon, when to visit.
• Expats and digital nomads — cost of living, neighborhoods, visas, healthcare, communities.
• Local businesses — visibility to thousands of international visitors per month.

Our mission

Arequipa is an extraordinary city that deserves an extraordinary guide. Most content about Arequipa online is shallow, outdated, or buried in a generic Peru guide. Arequipa.net exists to be better: deeper, more honest, more useful.
