Traveler Reviews of Sonccollay

Authentic pre-Inca cuisine

Great little restaurant overlooking the Plaza de Armas in Arequipa. The food is cooked without oil; the meat roasted on hot stones. A great experience, not to be missed. The owner, Walter Bustamante, is something of a character; very friendly and a mine of information. He actually encourages you to take photos - quite refreshing when back in England merely possessing a camera gives cause for suspicion these days.
