  Description

  I am Evelin:
  
  I run a small hostel that truly feels like home. Our goal is to create a warm, relaxed, and friendly environment where guests feel more like friends than customers. Our team is one of our greatest strengths, together we create a welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable, included, and part of the family.
  
  In my home, my 12-year-old daughter, my two cats, and I share a calm and cozy living space, and I’m looking for someone kind and responsible to join our home environment.

  What else ...

  The city is part of the so called "Southern Peru Tourist Corridor", together with Nazca, Puno and Cusco. In contrast to these other cities, Arequipa is an example of the Spanish and mestizo culture developed in Peru. There are no Inca artifacts or ruins in the city.
  In the winter it is warmer than in the summer. It is nicknamed the 'white city' (la ciudad blanca, in Spanish), because many of the buildings in the area are built of sillar, a white stone. This rock was quarried from the many volcanoes that surround the city, including the towering El Misti. Ask for local help to identify Misti, Chachani and PichuPichu, the three volcanoes surrounding the city.
  Arequipa is a city in the Southern Coastal region of Peru just below the edge of the Altiplano, at 2380 meters above sea level and surrounded by three impressive volcanoes. It's Peru's second most important city (after Lima), and the second most popular among tourists (after Cuzco).
