4-hour excursion: Sillar Route with Hiking in Culebrillas

A charming experience where we will learn about the origin of Sillar, a unique material in Peru, which allowed the entire historic center of Arequipa to be built.
09:15 am - We begin our journey towards the Ruta del Sillar, which is a tourist route with a lot of history and living culture, where we will visit quarries and areas where the ashlar originated. First we will cross a strategic point, with a brief stop at this emblematic place from where the Volcanoes and the Chilina Valley can be seen. Depending on the time of year, we can alternate at the beginning with another traditional viewpoint from where the volcanoes can be seen. The next point, now focusing on the Sillar Route, where we will stop will be the Añashuayco Quarry; which we will reach in approximately 45 minutes. It is currently in operation, the stonemasons do their work very early; In the place we can see an immense canyon with cliffs (ignimbrite walls) several meters high, formed by the extraction for the formation of the Ashlars. At this point we will tell you the history of ashlar, its production and the use that has always been given to it. In this quarry you will be able to see a Mega carving of the Church of the Company of Jesus made by the stonemasons themselves. We can also visit one of them to explain to us what their daily work is like and have us experience cutting one of their stone blocks ourselves.
Next we will move to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, which is located 30 minutes from Añashuayco. Upon reaching this point we will take a walk of approximately 20 minutes through the interior of the small canyon that was formed by the passage of water, which has walls of 15 to 20 meters. As we enter it, the canyon walls increase in height. At the end of the walk we can see petroglyphs made by the Wari culture more than a thousand years ago. Before returning to the city we will observe the Apachetas, which are stone formations placed one on top of the other that are a symbol of gratitude towards nature and also an attraction of good luck that cause a mystical sensation.
12:30h - We will begin the trip back to the city of Arequipa.
13:30 - We will arrive in Arequipa.
