We will start this sightseeing tour at our meeting point. Once all passengers are in the vehicle, we will head towards the Yanahuara Vantage Point to take photos. We will then continue on the Ruta del Sillar, leaving the city and heading towards the Añashuayco Quarry. Here, the tour guide will give us a series of explanations about the extraction process of ashlar, the stone with which most of the buildings around Plaza de Armas of Arequipa were made.
We will also have access to information about the carving, chiseling, and mega-chiseling carried out by the master stonemasons.
Afterwards, we will go to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, a quarry that is not in operation, but which we can explore for 20 minutes through a small canyon formed by water erosion.
At the end of the tour, we will see some petroglyphs that we can admire and photograph while our tour guide gives us some explanations. Then, we will return to Arequipa for the end of the sightseeing tour.
