DAY 2- COUNTRYSIDE TOUR BY MIRABUS

Opening hours: 09:00 – 14:00(duration 4 hrs)

The Arequipa countryside is a spectacle of green color: the valley falls in love with its natural light, platforms and vivid colors, all with the imposing Misti in the background. Several viewpoints allow you to appreciate it in all its splendor, but perhaps where you live its essence is in the Mill of Sabandía, built in 1621. It is a place of particular charm, surrounded by trees, cacti and various local flowers and plants, where you can see how the wheat was crushed four centuries ago on its large stone wheels.

DAY 3- SILLAR ROUTE

Hours: 8:00 – 14:00(duration 4 hrs)

We leave the city of Arequipa to start the tour by the Sillar Route, which is a tourist tour where you visit quarries and areas where the sillar is located.

The first point in which we will stop will be the Añashuayco Quarry, this quarry is still in operation, By the passage of time and the handicraft work of the alarifes is that this quarry has become an immense canyon with walls that have a height of more than 30 meters. In this place the guide will give you information about the origin and geological formation of the quarries, the elaboration and the use that has been given to it and is given to the present. In this quarry we can also see the Megatallado on the walls of the canyon, made by the alarifes themselves, in which we can take good photos. We can also observe how the ashlar is made, since the alarifes currently work in the quarry.

Then we will move to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, this is a quarry of ashlar that is not in exploitation, in this quarry we will make a walk of approx. 20 minutes inside the small canyon formed by the passage of water. At the end of the hike we can see petroglyphs, which are figures such as llamas, suns, snakes, etc. made by the ancient inhabitants of this area, which are on the walls of the ravine and can be seen clearly.

12:00am approx- We will start the return journey to the city of Arequipa.
