Arequipa and Colca Canyon, Peru
Cirqa, Arequipa
The boutique hotel is located in the heart of the city, just a block away from Arequipa's main square. This makes it a perfect place from which to explore the city’s Spanish-colonial architecture, spend lazy afternoons sampling its culinary delights and sipping pisco sour whilst people-watching at the plaza.

Location
Cirqa is an oasis in the heart of Arequipa’s historic centre. Wander the ancient passageways of this 16th century former monastery, cool down in the courtyard plunge pool or head to the roof top and soak in commanding city and volcanic views with a sundowner in hand. This exquisite boutique hotel celebrates its historical footprint whilst bringing modern comforts to the lucky few who seek refuge here.
Accommodation
There are just eleven guest rooms centred around the main terrazzo and patio, each providing a calm and cooling refuge from the bustling city, thanks to the high vaulted ceiling and original volcanic stone walls.
We recommend staying in one of the three suites for soaking in the stand alone bathtub with a glass of your preferred tipple in hand.

While away the evenings at the hotel’s open-air restaurant; a destination for its delicious Peruvian dishes, celebrating local produce in classic regional dishes.
The contemporary and comforting surroundings allow you to linger long after your meal as you cozy up next to the fire pit. Head to the rooftop to experience El Techo de CIRQA with its unforgettable views of the city and surrounding volcanoes.

Experiences
- Stroll round the streets of Arequipa, one of Peru’s most pleasant cities, always under the watchful eye of El Misti, the local volcano.
- The neighbourhood of Yanahuara is well-worth visiting to see its beautiful buildings, constructed of white igneous rock, and for its mirador (viewpoint) looking out over the city through poetry-inscribed arches.
- Your hotel is a former monastery, so why not visit the Santa Catalina Monastery, dating from 1579, to see how the monks of today live.
- Day trips further afield that we would recommend are to the volcanoes of Chachani and Pichu Pichu, also to the lush terraces of Colca Canyon and finally to Lake Tititaka, South America’s large freshwater lake.
