Thank for promoting Arequipa. Arequipa deserves it!
There are many good reasons to visit Arequipa and its region: History, gastronomy, adventure, sports ( rafting, mountain biking, discovering unique landscapes, beaches. and it is not as crowded as Cuzco.
Regarding altitude sickness, I would not be so dramatic, I have an hotel and do not remember any guest staying all day in bed. May be 5% of international travellers might have some headaches on first day. many of our guests start their trip by Arequipa before going to Colca, Puno, Cuzco. so that they can adapt faster to altitude.
You deserve one FREE night in my hotel www. villaelisahb. com, we are TRIPADVISOR #1!
Cheers
( and no problem throwing paper in toilets! hahah)

Hey Walter! I love you videos, I was in Arequipa for New Years 2020. I think your dos and donts are great content. I wish youd do a few vids that go a little more in depth. For example, at the central market, how do you pick the right fruit juice vendor when you cant drink the water? Or, how the bus terminals work on arrival and departure, I figured it out, but it was a little confusing. You mention travel agencies, which there are a ton, how do you pick the right one?

Your comments about altitude sickness should not be taken lightly. I live at 6000 ft and often recreate above 10, 000 ft and it can be a problem, especially for those who live at low elevation. Many tourists here have problems with it. Just remember to take in deep breaths through your nose, and exhale through your mouth with pursed lips. That will really help bring in oxygen and expel CO2.

Thanks for the warnings about altitude sickness. My partner almost died in Aspen because of that when his lungs filled with fluid. Great video! I personally hope to go soon when we can. I love Peru--food and people and scenery are fantastic. Thank you for all your wonderful informational videos.

Mark: Just wanted to point out that MAL is Spanish for sickness in the expression of MAL DE ALTURA. It can also mean ailment or disease in other expressions. Great video. Happy Travels!

That would be a great place to visit. I love historic architecture. It looks like you don't need to go on all those fancy hikes to have a good time. How's the coffee there

The metal bridge over the river is made by Eiffel, as in Eiffel Tower fame. It's worth a look.
Just drink some coca tea for the altitude sickness. It works great.
