Sillar Route, Volcanoes and Typical Desserts
Description
Route of the Sillar, Viewpoints of the Valley and Volcanoes We enter in the middle of huge volcanic stone farellones 30 meters high carved "to combo and chisel", colonial facades and carvings. Here we will have an illustrious moment with the master stonecutters, known as "cutters". They will reveal their live work techniques so that later we can do it with our own hands. We will see giant block falls and the wonderful experience of watching small blocks of ashlar made using ancestral instruments used from generation to generation. Heading to the Mirador de Carmen Alto !!! We will visit the traditional and unmissable viewpoints of Arequipa, Mirador de Carmen Alto to appreciate the Chilina Valley and our 3 volcanoes, Chachani, Misti and Pichupichu. The second viewpoint is in Yanahuara. Here we will eat rich traditional desserts and buy unique handmade souvenirs in the square.

Not that exciting and interactive as I was hoping it would be. Our tour guide and driver were very nice.
I´m sorry you didn´t enjoy the areas we visited :( the places are very cultural and maybe not interactive as you say :( We´ll be more than happy to arrange something to leave you with a good taste after Arequipa :)
Wonderful and amazing!!! Thankful for the kindness of the travel agents, patience and willingness in case of doubts or inconvenience that arose to assemble the itinerary according to our tastes! And as for the tours offered in Cusco and Arequipa, we were super happy, the guides very informed, they attended to every requirement, they made our trip a dream 🥰💜 we will recommend them 🤩🤗 thank you To investigate on the internet, just keep in mind, to look for the agency as sky arequipa, on calle bolivar (since we had doubts in taking the tours with them because before there was a Peruvian airline called sky, which went bankrupt, and unfortunately when googling lends itself to confusion)
Muchas gracias por su hermoso review! Nos motiva mucho leer a viajeros felices después de su viaje en Arequipa! Un fuerte abrazo y la esperamos para mas tours en nuestra ciudad :)

The tour was good and Sandra our guide was great! We were able to spend as much time in each place as we want and Sandra took photos of us both. Great experience!
We love to show the best of each spot in Arequipa but also is important for us to let you choose where you want to spend more time and feel flexible during the experience :)
The trip we made to Arequipa makes me very happy, Sky was an impeccable, punctual and very hospitable agency. We went as a family to Arequipa, the Sillar Route was beautiful, the landscapes, the sculptures, Culebrillas was wow, unique! Mr. Rommel was our guide and he explained every detail to us very well, we took several photos together because it really made a difference on this trip. Thank you very much Sky for making this trip so special!

This was an amazing tour of the Ruta de Sillar, including stops at the Mirador de Yanahuara and Mirador de Carmen Alto. Our guide Olivia was fantastic at providing us with information and answering any questions we had. It was also very convenient that the tour company offered to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel directly. We appreciated their timeliness, hospitality, and knowledge of the area and culture.
I'm very happy you enjoyed the experience to Route of Sillar! Is our pleasure to give the best información and shows the best of Arequipa!🙌🏼
Our trip to Sillar was on time, comprehensive, and good value for money. Everything was included, including water and entry. The car was clean, working seatbelts, and safe driving. Our guide, Sline, was so knowledgeable and always had something to add. We never felt rushed. At the mine, we saw other groups stop for 15 minutes to take photos and go, while we walked through and were given explanations of the statues' significance, cost, etc. So I was glad to be on my tour. I would recommend it for a casual morning out.
Thank you very much for your feedback! We always try to focus on the details and provide you with the most information and timing so that everything goes perfectly and travelers only worry about enjoying. I wish you the best on your journey!
Excellent visit and explanation at a perfect pace for us. Guide very friendly and willing to solve doubts.
Muchas gracias por tus comentarios sobre la escalada! Les deseo lo mejor en su viaje!
The tour of the quarry was awesome but also a little sad to see the craftsman working in that heat... I loved Yanahuara District!! It is a beautiful district with a great viewpoint:) Also has the most beautiful park with fountain in the middle.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. I´am glad you enojoyed the tour. Best wishes on the rest of your trip in Peru
