Sleeping & Eating
It's best to pass up the cheap hostels near the bus stations in lieu of a safer option closer to
the center of town.
Hostal Plaza $
( 46-1612; Ayacucho 675; s/d/tr S35/45/55; )
This is a neat spot by the plaza where
some of the upstairs rooms have pretty views of the cathedral. The good-value digs are
airy and sport large-screen cable TVs.
HOTEL
Hostal Arequipa $
( 46-1338; Arequipa 360; s/d/tr S37/48/59)
Located on a busy main street not far from
the plaza, the Arequipa has clean and inviting rooms with hot showers and cable TV. Ser-
vice here is reasonably friendly and helpful.
HOTEL
Vissios Pizzeria $
(Plaza de Armas 343; mains S13-23)
A little more chic than your average pizza joint, Vis-
sios has bright red walls, waiter service and modish photo prints on the wall. The roaring
eat-in, take-out trade is spearheaded by pizzas, pastas, and iffy super-sweet Moquegua
wine. Naples it isn't. Nonetheless, it's a welcome sight in the middle of the Peruvian
desert.
PIZZERIA
Roda Fruta $
(Moquegua 439; breakfast S8-12)
Grab your eggs, granola, yogurt and fruit salad in this
salubrious breakfast place with casual seating. There's another branch in Calle Arequipa.
