Arequipa Travel Guide | Peru 🇵🇪

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

If you are visiting Arequipa, you definitely have to check out Colca Canyon. You can trek the area for 2 or 3 days and have an amazing adventure. I did 2-day trekking around Colca Canyon and absolutely loved it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moOlmHV9bKyDj5Y

03:38 You mentioned Pisco . It was one of the main exported liqour back in Colonial Times from Peru. Its name came from the quechua word Pisco = Ave = Bird. . . . because it was exported from Pisco Port from year 1,600 . One of the main buyer were Chile. About 150 years ago in Chile tried to create a replica of our Pisco , but with different kind of grapes and different kind of distillery. There was an international dispute about this, even though Peru won, actually our main buyer of Pisco is Chile . . . ironically as it was 400 years ago . . Both Pisco are quite different and all the pisco sours prepared in Chile are made with Peruvian Pisco. They also love our food and we love their wine

Congratulations Aliki, Arequipa , the white city, is not only the second city from Peru, but the most secure and has one of the best cuisine , a mixed of Spaniards and Amerindians foods, almost 300 sunny days in the year, I hope you can visit the Colca Valley, enjoy La Calera hot springs and the Condor viewpoint, and finally the Cotahuasi Canyon, the deepest in the world where you can do rafting and hiking. Keep enjoying and discovering my country .Greetings from Lima, Peru

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

We are planning to visit Arequipa in October. Do you recommend 2 or 3 full days in Arequipa? We are not sure if there is enough to keep us occupied. Any suggestions would be helpful. We love your videos!! Thank you!!

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Thank you so much 😊 Good question! I think just for the city itself 2 days are enough. If you are short on time and want to save some time for other places then if you plan your day really well, you could do all in one full day! This is if you don't count in any day trips from Arequipa. 😉 Ah I loved Arequipa, I hope you have an amazing trip! 🤩

[@roseanzaldi3660]

@@AlikiTravelBlog Thank you for your reply! We have been to Peru several times before... to Lima, Cusco and Ollantaytambo. We decided to spend three days in Arequipa. I hope that won't be too many days there and that we won't be bored. Thank you again!

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

@@roseanzaldi3660 Ouh amazing! Well in that case..do you like hiking? I would highly recommend 2-day trip to Colca Canyon then. It is still for me one of my favorite hikes I have ever done! So it would be one full day for exploring the city and then 2 days - Colca Canyon. In case you do not like hiking you can also do Colca Canyon as a day trip, that does not include hiking, just stopping at the best viewpoints I believe. Here was my 2-day trekking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moOlmHV9bKyDj5Y 😉

[@Walterdez]

Hello dear Aliki, I have a question for you. Where are you from?. Other than that, thank you so much for your videos, I enjoyed so much.

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Thank you so much for watching :)) I am from Latvia 🇱🇻

[@Walterdez]

@@AlikiTravelBlog Hello Aliki, first of all, thank you so much, for taking your time and getting back to me, that is a lovely gesture of yours and I do appreciate that very much. Well, regarding about Latvia, I can talk a lot of thing that I know from your lovely country. I read the history, the culture and list goes on and on. By the way I love this song from your country( Dod Dievini) even though, I don't understand a single thing about this song, but the sound of the musical instruments touched my heart, since I heard this song from the first time. Probably, you'll get surprise, to see, or you may be never could figure it out, how this guy know THINGS about my country. Well, this World is small at the same time big.

[@Walterdez]

@@AlikiTravelBlog Here is the Link from Dod Dievini. kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3u4oGyBrJJ-ndE Even though, I don't understand, but I can feel this song in my heart,it looks like something about religion, the way it sounds and the way people are singing. Remember this" When the words fail, music speak". that is what happened to me the first time when I heard this song. As always, please be safe, take care and have a lovely week ahead and Liels paldies for your time. Walter

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

@@Walterdez wow I am extremely impressed!!! Yes, it is a very beautiful song. It talks about gratitude 😊 Like how grateful we are for what we have and the nature and little things God gives us. But it is written in a very old type of style so the lyrics are not too direct but more poetic, I hope I make sense 😂

Ok, if you were picking a retirement city for your parents, who love cool weather…Arequipa or Cuenca ? Thx !

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

Hmmm...I personally would go with Arequipa...but solely personal opinion really...I know there are loads of expats in Cuenca and I loved it there..but there was just something about Arequipa that I loved so much! Also cheaper haha

[@therehastobesomethingmoore]

@@AlikiTravelBlog Oh wow, you are right ! Looks like Arequipa is 25-30% less expensive than Cuenca. We don’t mind that ! 😂 Thx…great video !

Do you like Arequipa, Peru more then Cuenca, Ecuador? If you where to live longterm say 1 year or more would you rather live in Ecuador or Peru?. Please explain why. 👍🏻😊

[@AlikiTravelBlog]

uhh well I really liked Ecuador, but for living I would pick Peru because it is cheaper. Ecuador had a massive economic crisis and they made USD their currency so Ecuador so far has been the most expensive to visit. If you are an American maybe it makes things easier for you but as European I would pick Peru. Also the crises they had do not give me too much confidence in the government. In Peru, not Cusco, because too touristic but Arequipa or Lima for sure! I am actually considering Lima as a 3 month base at some point as digital nomad. Arequipa I loved! I could easily stay in Arequipa for a while too. Also food! Food is the best in Peru from all the SA I have been. I hope this helps :)
