La route du Sillar à Arequipa et le belvédère sur les volcans
Description
La pierre de taille est à l'origine de l'architecture de la Ville Blanche, et son circuit touristique s'étend dans le quartier de Cerro Colorado. Outre les paysages naturels de la région, vous pourrez découvrir les différentes étapes de l'extraction, de la taille et du meulage de la pierre de taille. Il dispose des infrastructures et des services touristiques nécessaires, tels que des ateliers de démonstration en présence de tailleurs de sillar, des panneaux d'information, une signalisation touristique, un parking, des points de vente d'artisanat en sillar et des aires de repos. La Route du Sillar est gérée par le Réseau des tailleurs de sillar d'Arequipa. Elle s'étend actuellement sur 2 000 mètres et couvre les carrières en exploitation d'Añashuayco et de Cortadores, ainsi que la carrière vierge de Culebrillas.
Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
Vous pouvez admirer les fresques murales où la pierre de taille est sculptée de manière artisanale, ainsi que le travail quotidien des ouvriers de la région. Vous découvrirez également le « canon à bardeaux », un petit canon en pierre de taille rose, formé naturellement.
Les carrières, désormais classées en zone naturelle protégée, constituent un lieu idéal pour découvrir l'origine de la pierre de taille, cette roche volcanique caractéristique d'Arequipa.
Cela permet de connaître l'origine de la pierre de taille, matériau caractéristique dont sont construites la plupart des bâtiments du centre historique de la ville. Les impressionnantes sculptures sur pierre, la route de galets où se dessine un petit canyon de pierres de taille roses, un espace naturel idéal pour prendre des photos et découvrir les origines les plus reculées : cette zone est totalement vierge et protégée, et il est interdit d'y effectuer des travaux. Ils retourneront ensuite au centre-ville, où ils pourront admirer les imposantes constructions en pierre de taille datant de l'Antiquité.

Nice day out. Mike was a great guide with very good English. I enjoyed walking through the canyon the most, but as others have said, there is a very steep walk out of the canyon. Make sure you have sturdy shoes.
Interesting for some. I found it boring. And uninspirimg. I guess we were looking for other types of tour guides.
Nice service.good job. We enjoy
Interesting tour - still interesting
Great guided experience was Anthony Flores and driver Freddie. Super friendly and very pleasant the trip, very interesting explanations. He highly recommended it. The route is long but worth it. We saw the condor birds several times. Impressive!
1st, they contacted me to meet at a different pick up location which doubled the length of our walk to the pick- up location. Upon getting on the bus at the new pick up location after a .7 mile walk we proceeded through town picking up other customers and ended up driving right by my Airbnb. That was a little frustrating to say the least. My husband was not feeling well and it was difficult to understand the English spoken portion of the talk, so we decided to leave the group at the 1st stop and Uber home.
Hello, thank you for sharing your comment. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced that day. The pickup was made at the Casa Andina Hotel, as indicated in the reservation address. We tried to contact you via WhatsApp to confirm the pickup, but we were unable to reach you. Sometimes we also have to adjust the pickup point due to traffic and logistics issues. We appreciate your comments and will take them into account to improve our service. Best regards.
The tour itself is really cool! The check-in and pickup felt disorganized and could be improved. Be prepared for MANY flies - bring lots of insect repellant! I wish the guide or driver had repellant for the bus/van because it became extremely filled with flies when they left the door and windows open during one of our walks. Lastly, one of the entrances was more than they advertised, which wasn't a big issue but threw me off guard because I had a limited amount of cash (the day before I left and I didn't want to withdraw more). Regardless was a cool tour and still recommend it, especially with the price tag.
Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊 We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and would recommend it. We apologize for the inconvenience with the pickup arrangements, the fly issue, and the price difference for the entrance fee. We've taken your comments into account to improve our service. Thank you for your trust, and we hope to welcome you back soon. 🌄✨
