Crime In Arequipa
http://www.perutravelblog.org/ ?p=18The worst reports from Arequipa in recent years have concerned a spate of “strangle-muggings” wherein tourists are jumped and strangled to the point of fainting before being robbed.

Arrival
http://www.perutravelblog.org/ ?p=17Arequipa is the hub of most journeys in the southern half of Peru.

Caramela
http://vojagi.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 05/ caramela.htmlWe slept quite nice in the round bed (It is quite difficult to divide the bed in two and telling your girl/boy to stay on her/his half of the bed). We talked a bit to hostel boy (He was 6) and made the mistake to give him a caramel candy (A roodthooft, free advertising).
