Itinerary
According to the selected schedule, we will pick you up from your hotel to take you to the Sillar Route, a fascinating tourist journey through quarries and areas where this characteristic white stone originated. The first stop will be at the Añashuayco Quarry, still in operation, where the canyon walls reach over 30 meters in height due to the craftsmanship of the stonemasons.
We'll share the history and craftsmanship of sillar, and you'll admire the Mega-carvings on the walls. Then, we'll head to the Culebrillas Gorge, an unexploited quarry, for a 20-minute walk where you'll discover ancient petroglyphs. Before returning to the city, we'll also see the apachetas, a local mystical practice. Finally, the return journey to Arequipa will conclude this unique experience.
