Situated in the atmospheric historic centre of Arequipa, just a stone’s throw from landmarks such as the Santa Catalina monastery, CIRQA is the number one address in the city. The hotel harks back to its days as a Spanish parador retaining its beautiful sillar stone walls, offering a remarkable blend of colonial and indigenous building techniques. The main courtyard - once welcoming weary travellers from the road - now serves as a congregation point for pisco-infused cocktails around the flickering braziers.
