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.

A lovely morning in Arequipa
We recently spent a wonderful morning on the Sillar route in Arequipa. We booked with Sky Viajes y Turismo on Viator. Our guide was Jessie. The tour was very organised and Jessie was punctual, polite and very professional. From the outset she was so helpful and patient. She guided us around the quarry and then Arequipa at a lovely relaxed pace. We were very lucky to have her as our guide. I would recommend this tour without hesitation as a wonderful introduction to Arequipa and its History. Thank you Jessie.

Not that exciting and interactive as I was hoping it would be. Our tour guide and driver were very nice.

A 10 everything!!!
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)

We loved this agency, excellent bus, guide, security, we had a great time!
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!

Highly recommend Ruta de Sillar tour!
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.

A wonderful morning out!
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.
