I spent two months in Arequipa and loved most of it! Lovely people and a lot of nature around. The beautiful Colca Canyon is near, where you can also see the Andean Condor or book multiple-day hiking tours. It is close to Puno which you should visit as well and it's easy to go to Cusco from here, to see the famous Macchu Picchu.For working it wasn't that great, unfortunately, with slow internet and the available coworking spaces not quite as nice as I had hoped. It's still okay though, so not terrible.The city itself is nice. Traffic can be terrible at times and taxi drivers never have change (ugh...) but old town is wonderful and the zocalo super beautiful. There are some nice bars as well. Everything is cheap of course and the locals really friendly.So all in all it depends what you are looking for but if you like nature and speak some amount of Spanish you should consider Arequipa for some time!
