Itinerario
La nostra avventura inizia con il ritiro in hotel e poi il trasferimento nella tradizionale città di Yanahuara, molto nota per i suoi archi bugnati, una pietra vulcanica bianca tipica dell'architettura coloniale di Arequipa. Questo punto di vista offre una vista eccezionale sulla città di Arequipa. Allo stesso modo, da lì possiamo ammirare le tre montagne innevate più famose della regione: Chachani, Pichu Picchu e Misti.
Vicino alla città di Arequipa si trova uno dei paesaggi naturali più impressionanti che si possano immaginare. È un tesoro per il popolo di Arequipeño da dove viene estratto l'iconico sillar (la pietra vulcanica bianca utilizzata nelle costruzioni coloniali di Arequipa). Nello stesso luogo i costruttori spiegano le loro tecniche di lavoro e gli usi della pietra vulcanica.
Dopo una visita guidata alla zona della cava e osservando il lavoro artigianale di questa pietra, continueremo la nostra visita al burrone serpentino di Culebrillas, situato a 15 minuti dalla cava di Añashuayco, inizieremo la nostra passeggiata di circa 20 minuti, Culebrillas È una zona impressionante che si distingue per le sue formazioni curvilinee piene di fascino e magia (la passeggiata è un po' accidentata) osserveremo alcuni petroglifi impregnati sulle pareti del burrone. Saliremo un pendio per circa 5 minuti Alla fine osserveremo gli Apachetas, tumuli di pietra che rappresentano una tradizione mistica per i residenti locali. Ci imbarcheremo in mobilità, il ritorno impiega circa 40 minuti per raggiungere il centro città.

Magali was our guide. She did a great job. Be prepared to walk. Could have used more time at the statues/quarry to see all of it. Some of the walk is uphill. Wear closed toe hiking boots or good athletic shoes. Went in June at 9 am slot and it was hot. Sun screen recommended. Mosquitoes at cabrillas are real!! Van ride was good. Definitely a great short day trip!
Very well run tour. The minibus picked us up at around 6 places in the historic district. It was a bit slow because of traffic. First stop at the look-out point. Then the sillar quarry. Lastly the canyon which was the best of the three. As we are seniors and about double the age of the others, the guide and some of the other travelers had to give a steadying hand through the canyon and up the hill at the end, but it was all good. The petroglyphs were a little lackluster. Altogether a good tour, but not a must-do. The guide worked hard to give us all the information in English and Spanish.
Unique experience to visit the sillar quarry
Quiet and very nice walk, with beautiful landscapes on the way, which allow you to see the volcanoes. In Culebrillas guides are very careful and informative. On the Sillar route, there is a brief explanation and each visitor travels the site on account. Both tours are quite worth it and give a great experience, with very nice photos.

This was an inexpensive tour to see 3 areas and observe the quarry from which Arequipa has been built, with good views of the volcanoes and a short walk in a narrow canyon to see some petroglyphs. Sometimes it felt as though we had too long and sometimes felt hurried but i guess that varies with ones interests.

As you mentioned, interests and preferred pacing can vary from person to person. Since this is a shared tour, we do our best to balance the time at each stop so everyone can enjoy the experience.
