Night bus to Arequipa

Turns out 99% of buses to Arequipa leave in the evening anywhere from 7pm-9pm to avoid the high temperatures during the day. I did find a morning bus which was appealing because it would afford us the view of the countryside en route, which at 10-12 hours of driving, that could be a lot.  But the prospect of arriving in the night in a new city didn't appeal either. 

Several bus companies go to Arequipa with varying level of 'service' which is essentially how far back the seat reclines, if there's a bathroom and the number of stops.  They do book up so I suggest you go to the bus station the day or two before to book your ticket, which was about 25NS, but I can't remember exactly other than CHEAP.
