Opções de passeio
Itinerário
Nossa aventura começa com o embarque em seu hotel e depois o traslado para a tradicional cidade de Yanahuara, muito notável por seus arcos de cantaria, uma pedra vulcânica branca típica da arquitetura colonial de Arequipa. Este mirante oferece uma vista excepcional da cidade de Arequipa. Da mesma forma, de lá podemos admirar as três montanhas nevadas mais famosas da região: Chachani, Pichu Picchu e Misti.
Perto da cidade de Arequipa está uma das paisagens naturais mais impressionantes que você pode imaginar. É um tesouro para o povo arequipeño de onde é extraído o icônico sillar (a pedra vulcânica branca utilizada nas construções coloniais de Arequipa). Os construtores explicam suas técnicas de trabalho e os usos da pedra vulcânica no mesmo local.
Após uma visita guiada pela área da pedreira e observando o trabalho artesanal desta pedra, continuaremos nossa visita ao desfiladeiro serpentino de Culebrillas, localizado a 15 minutos da pedreira Añashuayco, iniciaremos nossa caminhada de cerca de 20 minutos, Culebrillas É Numa zona impressionante que se destaca pelas suas formações curvilíneas cheias de encanto e magia (o passeio é um pouco acidentado) observaremos algumas pinturas rupestres impregnadas nas paredes do desfiladeiro. Subiremos uma ladeira por cerca de 5 minutos. Ao final observaremos as Apachetas, montes de pedra que representam uma tradição mística para os moradores locais. Embarcaremos na mobilidade, o retorno leva aproximadamente 40 minutos para chegar ao centro da cidade.

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.
