Taking the night bus to Arequipa was the best decision because it saved money on a nights stay and there was no one on the bus so I had a whole section to myself. Arrived at 5:30am to my hotel and thankfully the receptionist let me in. He was really rude to me saying I couldn't fill up my water and tried to charge me the full price without the Peru Hop discount.
