If you want to save an hour of your life, don’t post anything in Arequipa. The town seems to take a nap at about 3pm, for an hour or so, but the Post Office stays open. Great you might correctly think, no queue. In fact there wasn’t another customer in there but just to spite the system the staff work so slowly between 3 and 4, they might as well be asleep and you might as well shoot yourself in the face. One parcel, security inspection, fingerprints, passport copies and one hour later….seriously. That said – I love the rest of Arequipa. It’s a very good looking town, with great cafes, restaurants, shops and sights all handed to you on a plate surrounded by snow capped mountains and bright blue sky with puffy white clouds...
