What is a good place in Arequipa, Peru?

Travel Tips
I stayed at an awesome hostel called The Point. It was cheap, clean, fun, and the staff were great. They can organize all sorts of tours and stuff. The Colca canyon is supposed to be awesome and you can do 2-10 day tours into the canyon. We saw the ice mummy when we were there and it was totally worth it (she is a 500 year old Incan sacrifice). Also the Plaza de Armas is a great place for restaurants and shopping. Have fun!

Others
Once in Arequipa, the Plaza de Armas, the 'La Compa帽ia de Jesus' church, which has cloisters with ashlar (volcanic white stone or 'sillar") arcades, and the renowned Santa Catalina Convent should not be missed. On the outskirts of: the city some districts stand out because of their beauty, like Cayma, which temple was built in 1730, or Yanahuara, which belvedere offers a great view of the city surrounded by volcanoes, such as Cachani, 1,076 meters (3,529 feet) a.s.l.
Also important are the Yura Chapel, the San Lazaro quarter the Saband铆a Mill and the A帽azhuayco quarries, from where the ashlar ('sillar') is extracted. Arequipa is known as 'La Ciudad Blanca" (White City) because of the color of its ashlar buildings.
Also, the Colca river valley which deep canyon is renowned among rafters. The section previous to the canyon consists of an encased valley that runs from east to west, beginning in the cold puna and running down to warmer regions, showing its great scenic beauty and cultural attractiveness.
Good Luck!
My advice...DON'T GO!! Tis crappy and you get mugged at every corner and god only knows what diseases you could catch!
