Description of the excursion:
We will pick you up from your Hotel in the city of Arequipa and transfer you to the Sillar Rout, which is a tourist route where you visit quarries and areas where the ashlar originated. The first point where we will stop will be the Añashuayco Quarry, this quarry is still in operation, due to the passage of time and the artisan work of the builders is that this quarry has become an immense canyon with walls that have a height of more than 30 meters. At this point we will tell you the history of sillar, its elaboration and the use that has always been given to it. We can also see how the sillar is made, since the builders currently work in the quarry. Then we will move to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, this is a illar quarry that is not in operation, in this quarry we will hike approx. 20 minutes inside the small canyon that has been formed by the passage of water. At the end of the walk we will be able to observe petroglyphs, which are figures such as llamas, suns, snakes, etc. made by the ancient inhabitants of this area, which are on the walls of the creek and can be clearly seen. Return to the city of Arequipa.
