Live an enchanting experience where we will learn about the origin of Sillar, a unique material in Peru, which allowed the construction of the entire historic center of Arequipa.
DETAILED ITINERARY:
08:45am to 09:15am - In this lapse of time we pick up our tourists, from the meeting point which is the door of the cathedral.
09:15am - We begin our tour to the viewpoint of Yanahuara, which offers a privileged view of Arequipa from its white arches that unite Misti, Pichu Pichu and Chachani, the emblematic volcanoes of Arequipa, in a single embrace.
From there we head towards the Sillar Route which is a tourist route with a lot of history and living culture, where we visit quarries and areas where the sillar originated.
The third point where we will stop will be the Añashuayco Quarries; which we will arrive in 45 minutes approx. It is currently in exploitation, the quarrymen perform their work from very early; in the place we can appreciate a huge canyon with cliffs (ignimbrite walls) that are several meters high, formed by the extraction for the formation of the ashlars. At this point we will tell you the history of the ashlar, the elaboration and the use that has always been given to it. In this quarry you will be able to appreciate a Megatallado of the Church of the Company of Jesus made by the stonemasons themselves. We will also be able to visit some of them so that they can explain to us how their daily work is and they can make us experience cutting ourselves one of their stone blocks.
Then we will move to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, which is 30 minutes away from Añashuayco. Arriving at this point we will make a walk of approximately 20 minutes inside the small canyon that was formed by the passage of water, which has walls of 15 to 20 meters, as we go into it the walls of the canyon are increasing in height.
At the end of the walk we will be able to observe 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 to nature and also attraction of good luck which cause a mystical feeling.
