Sillar-Halbtagesroute in Arequipa

I had a really enjoyable half day in the company of Alexandra. She's a fun, well prepared and qualified guide. Her explanations were very well balanced in length, quite detailed, yet without anything excessive. The pace of the tour was also right, didn't feel rushed. I can recommend this tour!

Excellent service our guide Alexandra was exceptional the Ruta del Sillar and canyon tour was a must

It was a good trip, The driver and guide were very good mannered and friendly. The race again other busses was some what annoying

If you stay at Arequipa and want to have a relaxing tour, this can be a good one, particularly if you love taking photos. The guide we had was great. I was the only one speaking English and she had to give me personal introductions every time after her “broadcasting” ones to the rest of group.

Fun experience, our guide picked us up from our hotel and then we started the tour. It went v smooth and it was fun. Our guide explained everything well

I visited the Ruta del Sillar for my birthday and it was one of the best experiences. Good natural landscapes that combine with history, art and tradition. In addition, the guide did a great job explaining every detail and the tour was very punctual in picking me up at the hotel.

Good but rushed and too short. The tour wasted almost an hour picking people up within a block or two of the main square. We were then very rushed in the Sillas quarry and didn't have a chance to see everything. It would be better to have fewer pick up points and spend most than 30 minutes at the quarry. The hike was really neat - would have been great to hike more of the canyon!

The visit to the Sillar quarry was fascinating. Plenty of sillar sculptures to look at and take photos with. Too many to fit into the 45 minutes allocated. There is another section with more sculptures for a small additional fee. Toilets are mainly at the beginning. Closed toe shoes are advised. The tour to the canyon with the petroglyphs was a little disappointing. You slowly walk through the canyon following lots of other tourists. At the very end the petroglyphs are very faint and hard to get close to because of everyone filling the space. The walk out is quite steep, so not recommended for those who struggle to climb up steep and uneven slopes. Overall it was good value for money.

We visited La ruta del sillar with Oscar Trips Peru. The tour took 4 hours visiting very interesting places with magnificent views. The walks were very manageable and fun. Our guide, Alexandra, was very professional and helpful and provided a wealth of information about the area, the quarry and the canyon. Don Hernan, the driver, made us feel safe during the whole route. Totally recommend this tour.

The sillar stone quarry was wonderful, but not enough time to wander throughout the whole thing and relax and take pictures. I wish they had skipped that time at the mirador at the beginning for pictures. I never heard that that was part of the tour in the first place, but in the end, I was tired and so happy. The stone quarry filled my soul. There's also a truck through a tiny narrow canyon to see petroglyphs from the days of the Huari culture. It was cool, but do not come on this wearing sandals or flip-flops. You will want solid shoes.
