À vivre

The Cirqa estate echoes back to 1540 — the year Arequipa was built — and preserves the unique character of its traditional architecture. Cirqa's imposing walls, arches, and columns, all built from volcanic sillar stone, have been carefully preserved and form the timeless core of the property, where carefully designed rooms retain their original vaulted ceilings. The rooftop has been transformed into an organic garden, which serves as the base for a rural-style picantería (traditional restaurant) at the heart of the city.

Layout

The building is organised around a central patio with a small heated pool, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing.
On the second floor, you'll find the rooftop “El Techo de CIRQA”, inspired by traditional picanterías: organic garden, panoramic views over the city and volcanoes, a convivial space for cocktails and small plates. Sparking wonder by reinterpreting the region's gastronomic soul is the credo of Maria Fe Garcia Uranga, who draws on an ancestral culinary heritage. Simple, authentic cooking.

Rooms

The hotel has 11 rooms across three categories — Claustro, Aposento, Bóveda — all arranged around the terrace/patio. Some retain original ceilings and a monastic atmosphere, combined with modern décor, technology (TV, Wi-Fi, wireless speaker) and contemporary comfort.

SPA

Massages are available for those wishing to relax.

Activities offered

Surrounded by art, history and architecture, Cirqa offers a wide range of short full-day or half-day excursions in and around Arequipa, as well as private transfers from Arequipa to the Colca Canyon and Lake Titicaca.
