Day 1: Arequipa – Sillar route:
Arrival in Arequipa, reception, and transfer to the selected hotel.
We begin our journey along the Sillar Route, a tourist circuit rich in history and living culture, where we visit quarries and areas where sillar — the iconic volcanic stone — originated.
Our first stop will be Yanahuara Square, where we’ll visit the Yanahuara viewpoint, known for its beautiful arches made of sillar and engraved with verses from poems written by renowned Arequipeño authors. From this spot, we’ll enjoy a magnificent view of the city’s guardian volcanoes.
We will then continue to the Añashuayco Quarry, where we’ll learn about the sillar extraction process — the stone used in most of the buildings surrounding Arequipa’s Main Square. We’ll also discover how the master stonemasons carry out the carving, shaping, and large-scale sculpting of this volcanic stone.
Next, we’ll visit the Culebrillas Ravine, located about 30 minutes from Añashuayco. This quarry is no longer in use, but we’ll walk for about 20 minutes through a narrow canyon shaped by water erosion. At the end of the path, we’ll find petroglyphs created over a thousand years ago by the Wari culture, which we’ll have the chance to admire and photograph.
Finally, we’ll return to Arequipa to conclude the tour, and we’ll drop you off at the tourist terminal.
