Posada del Misti was super value for money at Arequipa, especially if you're not into luxury and a genuine backpacker happy with no frills rustic! Kitchen was truly basic but at least they had one. Sunny courtyard was wonderful. Maximo and staff Amelia were extremely helpful and obliging and the central location was perfect.

Good basic hostel to stay for the night before or after finishing your trek to the colca canyon. Hospitality is great. Beds are comfy. It has everything needed for a day or 2. There is no kitchen, but you could heat some water if you ask the host, who is extremely lovely and helpful. You can leave luggage during your trek, in fact, almost everybody does.
