Best Scuba Diving Lessons Arequipa Near Me

PAUL ATLAS: If you would like to see this wonderful country from the saddle of a motorcycle, guided by experienced and friendly people…. Look no further.The choice of places to visit, how to get to them and accommodation is varied and well thought out. The operators live here and have done for 20 or so years, they have extensive local and historical knowledge and a good sense of humour.The bikes are well looked after and suit the varied terrain.Go for it!

Simon Russen: Great trip. My F700GS was perfect for the great variety of roads and the tour schedule was just right. Some great hotels and some stunning views. Geert got the balance of the tour just right and the walking tour of Cusco..sponsored by Peru Motors free if charge....was great fun. Thanks for a fantastic holiday and unforgettable experience.

Marc Gray: These guys are the ONLY place to go for a motorcycle tour of Peru, South America, the USA, or Europe! Just do it!Our tour was the Classic Inca 9 Day, me and the wife were doubled up on the bike. And the attention paid to the wife to make sure she was having as much of a blast as I was, was second to none! She always felt like a top priority to our guides for the entire tour! Well done Geert and Lars!Their attention to detail, choice of hotels, the motorcycles offered to rent, and the staff's upbeat attitude make them stand out head and shoulders above other tours we've been on! These guys nailed it! They handled all the details so all we had to do was enjoy the ride!The routes were amazing, miles of turn after turn, and the views, both on and off the bike, were breathtaking! And don't forget about the "World Famous Walking City Tour in Cusco", powered by Peru Motors, free of charge, often imitated, never duplicated! You'll be glad you went!Rest assured, we will be back for another tour next year!Do yourself a huge favor and book here first! You wont regret it!

Henry George: Das war eine super ausgearbeitete Tour, die neben vielen Highlights Machu Picchu als besonderes „I-Tüpfelchen“ hatte. Wir sind froh, die vorbereitete Self-guided Tour mit Peru-Morors gemacht zu haben. Der email-Verkehr war prompt und unkompliziert. Technische Probleme wurden schnell gelöst und während der Tour bekamen wir bei Fragen schnelle Antworten.Alles in allem super. Selbst für Beginner (1 x 2 Jahre mit knapp 3.500 km Praxis) machbar, wenn man sich auf den Verkehrsfluss einlässt.Danke Geert und Lars für diesen unvergesslichen Urlaub 👍

Justin Butler: Peru motors was great and getting everything set up and moving smoothly

Jelle Pronk: Voor 3 weken motors gehuurd bij Perumotors voor een rit door het zuiden van Peru. Eén van de mooiste ervaringen van mijn leven.De motors zijn goed onderhouden en zijn aan ons afgeleverd met alle accesoires die we wilden. De eigenaren leiden een eerlijk bedrijf, waardoor de lichte schade die we hebben aangericht goed is opgelost.

Mark Fisher: Positive:Professionalism,Responsiveness,ValueThese guys get it! We had the time of our lives on this tour of Peru. My wife and I each got great bikes that suited us, and Lars and Geert were fantastic guides. We would do this again in a heartbeat. Let them know what your goals are, and they will help you have a great time.

Richard J Kruse: just got back from one of the greatest rides of my life. peru motors special peru/Andes adventure. twisties and more twisties and even more twisties. beautiful scenery that most tourists will never see. absolutely phenomenal. I am pushing 80 yrs of age and they took great care of me. thank. you all. Richard

Nevin Diener: Having just finished a two-week motorcycle tour of southern Peru, I give FIVE STARS to Peru Motors for The Ride of My Life. In spite of the travel challenges posed by a world just emerging from pandemic, Lars and Geert provided an outstanding experience for me and four other riders from Europe and the US in October 2021.Peru Motors is a class operation. They took care of every detail for every rider, every day of the trip. They booked us in the best available hotels for each night of the tour and they facilitated arrival and departure travel arrangements before and afterward, and making sure we had all the necessary travel documents. And their on-site hotel for arrival night and departure day was clean and well run. Most of all, our guide was excellent, personable, and available every minute of the tour.Highlights of the tour included visits to the floating islands of Lake Titicaca, a train excursion to Machu Picchu, the Nazca Lines in the desert, condor sightings in Colca Canyon, and an overnight stay in the Amazon rainforest. Numerous other stops each day provided fascinating looks at Peruvian culture and history, and up-close interactions with the beautiful people of Peru.Best of all were the top-notch roads and scenery of the region. If you like to ride on endless twisty roads with jaw-dropping scenery around every corner, this the place to be. Having traveled for many years by motorcycle throughout the US, Canada, and Europe, this tour had me laughing and shouting to myself inside my helmet at the riding experience of a lifetime.

robcroese: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValueOver the years I have taken many tours with PeruMotors and I have always been very satisfied. The tours go to the best places and use the most scenic roads. The hotels are always good and the daily rides are always manageable. The fun factor and the camaraderie are always great and the value is good!Service:Group tours

G Funk: Not Recommended. Made a $500 deposit at the end of October 2019 for an early Jan 2020 ride for 2 weeks. Somehow there were 2 x $500 deposits sent. Paid the full balance in Peru when I got the bike. Noticed the double deposit on my card as soon as I got back and contacted PM. Lars claimed they never received the extra $500. After about a month of emails and confirmations from the credit card Lars finally agreed they had received the money but would not refund any of the money saying it was too late. Lars eventually agreed to refund some money but it was less than half. Be careful!!

Alberto Alexander Alcarraz: Prices too high for compatriots, it is good that this cost is charged to foreigners but not to Peruvians whose income is well below the average even in the case of a middle class traveler

Michael Lust: PeruMotors is an outstanding Moto rental. Lars is more than accommodating to all our needs, the La Gruta hotel is a great place to start your tour from.

Ryan Rainville: Overall, I would rent again.Pros:1) Very responsive to emails2) Good condition, quality bikes3) Ability to rent on short notice (corresponded 26 days earlier but confirmed rental 4 days before start date)4) SOAT taken care of5) Flexible (see fuel note below)6) We had a lot of funCons:1) Less organized than I had hoped:a) Hours are not listed online & signage is for hotel, not PeruMotors. I asked what time PeruMotors would open in the morning and the desk staff said 9AM but when I arrived at 9:10 I still needed to wait for Lars to arrive from his house nearby.b) I had requested a small helmet but only one option was available at the rental location so we needed to proceed to Lar’s house nearby to find a better fit. With other delays it took over an hour to complete the rental (only customer) despite being told 30 minutes is typical.c) Top case is listed as an option on the website but Lars said ‘we don’t use those anymore, too many shake off’. Maybe none were available on limited notice, but this is something I had planned on as a backrest for the passenger.d) The bikes are supposed to start with a full tank but mine was found to have half a tank. “No worries, just return it with half a tank or we'll refund half a tank of gas”. I was told the fuel level was enough to reach Aplao but the fuel light turned on well before Aplao while entering an isolated stretch and I needed to turn around for gas.2) Typically it would seem paying by credit card is more flexible but after the fact (when seeking to return the bike early) it was stated that credit card transactions could not be undone. Lars did work with us amicably to reach a resolution which I appreciate given the fact that we requested a change after agreeing to original rental terms.

Rik Kotter: We booked a cooking class this morning through our hostel that was supposed to be at 4pm (they also have an 11am option). However, slightly after 11am they called us to cancel our class. Since we're leaving tomorrow to Colca Canyon and the morning class has just started, that means we can't a cooking class anymore in Arequipa because of this cancellation.Although we would have still preferred the 4pm option, would they have communicated earlier that they would cancel it, we could've lived with the menu of the morning class, but not even that was possible now.And yes, we know today is the feast of Santa Rosa de Lima (a holiday), but that does not excuse the poor communication on their behalf.

Jonathan Bywaters: Great class! It was just us 2 but the teacher was really helpful and informative, they laid pout the table door us to eat our food and had prepped everything so we came in, learnt how to cut and then cook the food. it was delicious!Bi lingual teacher so we could have the lesson in English, really enjoyed it and look forward to making the dishes when we’re home with the instructions

alonso espino: It is a fascinating experience, the people who give the lessons are very capable and always attentive to each one when they need it, I consider one of the best in arequípa

Kayla Abouly: C'était GENIALISSIME !Nous avons passés un super moment pendant cette cooking class.Nous avons appris à cuisiner une entrée papa rellena et un lomo saltado comme plat principal.En plus d'avoir cuisiner de A à Z nous même, nous en avons appris beaucoup sur la culture péruvienne. Chacun prépare (et peut décorer à sa guise) sa propre assiette, les ingrédients sont d'excellente qualité nous nous sommes régalés !Je conseille vraiment cette activité c'était super!Merci beaucoup ! :)

maureen ba: First of all the activity started 15min late while we were asked to arrive 10 min in advance... Not nice.We did the Lomo saltado class, we were 3 people. We paid 75 soles each for 2 hours class. It went well, we did one small meal and then Lomo saltado. It was OK because the chef is really nice but if I have to rate the class, it was not the best.First of all the class lasted 1h45min and during it we ate the meal so we only cooked 1h15min maybe. It did not learn much as the was not technical part, it was really basic.I did not learn anything about Peruvian history or culture and the ingredient were basic, nothing so local.I spent a good moment thanks to the chef but honestly the class is disappointing.

Rebecca Law: The Andean menu food was tasty, but undercooked in order to rush us out. There was no explanation of the history or culture of the foods. Overpriced for what it was.

Hakim Benkara: The experience was excellent. Great staff, great recipes and a marvellous meal at the end!!

Christina Mastantuono: Amazing experience. A must try in Arequipa. Lady, the chef, is an angel and the food is great.

Timothy J Sayer: I found this a little disappointing for a few reasons.Having not been able to get in to the Lima restaurant, I was keen to come here and try some of Gaston's food.The chupe Andino was nice and had pops of flavour that I enjoyed, having not had anything similar before. I had no serviettes or cutlery apart from a spoon to eat the corn with which was a hassle.I then had the pulpo a la brasa, and I honestly can't understand why this had no flavour, even with olives and capers in the dish. The chimichurri had zero flavour which I don't understand how that's even possible and if I was blindfolded, I would never have guessed that the octopus was grilled. It was sadly an oily, flavourless dish.My side plate, bread basket and butter still remained after the main was cleared even though I'd finished before the starter arrived. I also waited to be offered deserts but the offer didn't come.I so wanted to have a great experience here, but sadly I didn't.

Luke Costa: We were literally just looking to try chicha de guiñapo, a fermented purple corn drink that only comes from Arequipa, and this was one of the only places we could find that sold it.Although more of a restaurant, the staff allowed us to sit at the bar whilst then providing us a complimentary selection of local breads and butters. Excellent hospitality and a beautiful restaurant.

luz acosta: Uff recommended, I tried the dessert, the rocotito was great!!!

Carmen Diniz: Ambiente muito agradável, comida autoral. Gostei que há a opção de pedir meias porções, assim pudemos experimentar vários pratos. Os drinks eram maravilhosos! Ainda penso no chilcano de hierba luisa que pedi 😌 atendimento muito bom. Recomendo e voltaria.

Miguel Angel Alvarez: The Monastery keeps a part of the history of Arequipa from the viceregal era until the previous century, you can appreciate what the life of the religious women of that time was like. The buildings, paintings and objects are of high historical value, pride for the Arequipeños and Peruvians who have visited

JANNE POVIS: !! Y sacas buenas fotitos de recuerdo !!!(Translated by Google

Piero Alarcon: Spectacular!! As everyone says, if you go to Arequipa this is a point that you should go to anyway!

Ornella: Molto suggestivo. Un tuffo nel passato. Le guide sono dolcissime e vale assolutamente la pena fare un giro con loro.

Daniela Diazgranados Ortiz: Beautiful place full of stories and culture, the only bad thing was that a guide was not very friendly, so we decided to do the tour without a guide

Senna: A great way to spend a few hours of your day, and an absolute recommendation for Antigua. The monastery is very big, and there are signs in almost every room explaining the significance of certain tools/spaces in English and Spanish. I would say you won't necessarily need a tour if you search for the info signs.The colours are lovely, and it's just beautiful all around. Perfect place to learn some history.Only downside were the prices, they are quite high at 45PEN for an adult.

Marilu Tupayachi: It's a really nice hotel to relax. It's calm and silence. We really appreciate that and if you are lucky you could see a nice cat walking around lol. The service is good. We had some problems with our room multiple times but they solved it. You have to pay and extra fee to use the installations like the pool, jacuzzi and sauna for 1 hour and the price is per person. Don't remember how much.

Anne LS: I cannot express how much I loved La Hostería! This hotel has such charm you cannot but feel like you are staying somewhere really special. The rooms are large, with comfortable beds. Breakfast is copious and delicious. Staff was super helpful and friendly, there is even an adorable cat! The place is old but being renovated so yes, it’s not perfect and needs a bit of refurbishing but they are working very hard on it and I am sure will make it perfect. I didn’t try the sauna but would have loved to as it looked amazing. There is a beautiful garden with flowers that smell lovely when you get out in the morning. There is also a little terrace from where you have nice views of the city. Just go and see for yourself! Thank you to the staff of La Hostería for having us.

Neli Edreva: На централно място, срещу манастира св.Каталина. Стаите са комфортни, но в някои от тях ваната е в стаята, което не много практично.

Florencio Sanz Gonzalez: A nice hotel, in the heart of Arequipa.A charming hotel, recommended.It has three floors and many nooks and crannies, it does not have an elevator, so it would be good for people with reduced capacity to book on the ground floor.

Elisa Melo: Still dreaming about the beautiful courtyard at this place. The vibrant colours on the painted walls, plants and flowers is so stunning. The rooms are old-school but we slept fine and didn't have any noise issues. The crew at the front desk were lovely and accommodating. It's also very well located, a few blocks from the main square. I would return!

jbaldarrago: Near the plaza but still far enough away from the noise. Beautiful hotel. The spa is great if you have time. The rooms are still old school with an actual brass key and only tv cable available. Could be updated but still nice the way it is.Rooms: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5 …More

Dan Witting: We spent one week in the Hotel with 2 kids. The hotel has a lot of charme and you feel like one of the old spanish houses. There is plenty of space to relax, read a book, work, play ping pong or billard.There are different types of room. The rooms are nice but like in many places in Peru, attention to details i missing. For example in our bathroom there was no air ventilation.The breakfast buffet was ok. But nothing special.The view on the mountains is outstanding. The staff is very friendly always helpful.We were there at a low season and the prices were reasonable.

There was ample storage for all our things, too.We were able to book massages last minute, which includes an hour in the baths. The pools/steam room were nice, but a bit cold, and the massages were great. Breakfast was also pretty good.Overall, a beautiful space we enjoyed thoroughly and conveniently located for everything we needed.

Tino Basso: The excellent service. Everyone very attentive.The rooms could be better for a 5 ⭐.The precise location.

Manuel Borja: Nice hotel with good location and excellent service!

Manly Matt Schulman: Highly recommended. Although almost every hotel we stayed in on our Peru trip was a Casa Andina property, this was the best of them. The location is close enough to the center of town to be easily walkable, but out of its busiest area. It is beautiful and welcoming, and the staff was helpful and polite. As a side note, we came with rudimentary Spanish, but didn't need it here -- the staff's English was far better than our Spanish. The breakfast was impressive, even including a pleasant performance by a local musician. Our room was spotless and comfortable, and they even included a little nosh as a treat for our anniversary. Certainly a fine place to stay when you visit Arequipa.
