Rutt

1. About 09:00 ''Sillar route'' a tourist route with a lot of history and living culture where you can visit quarries and areas where the sillar originated. We stop at the Cantera de Añashuayco;Currently it is in operation the stonemasons perform their work from very early; in the place we will be able to appreciate an immense canyon with farallones (walls of ignimbrita) that have several meters of height, formed by the extraction for the formation of the Ashlars. At this point we tell you the history of sillar, the elaboration and the use that has been given to you since always. Then we continue to the ''Quebrada de Culebrillas'' which is 30 minutes away from Añashuayco. Arriving at this point we make a walk of approximately 20 minutes inside the small canyon formed by the passage of water which has walls of 15 to 20 meters while we enter it the walls of the canyon are increasing in height.

About Arequipa

Arequipa, in southern Peru, is a white-stone colonial city beneath the cone of El Misti volcano, close to the deep Colca Canyon.

Arequipa lies at about 2,300 metres in the dry southern Andes, with the cone of El Misti volcano rising above it and Chachani and Pichu Pichu on either side. Its centre is built from sillar, a light volcanic stone that has earned it the name of the White City. The Plaza de Armas has arcades, palms and the cathedral, whose façade stretches the full length of one side.
