About this activity

This tour offers a unique opportunity to connect with the soul of Arequipa through its most iconic material, sillar stone. Unlike typical sightseeing excursions, the Ruta del Sillar y Culebrillas Tour takes you behind the scenes into active quarries where master artisans still carve stone by hand, preserving a centuries old tradition.

You’ll also venture off the beaten path to explore Culebrillas Canyon, a hidden natural wonder with ancient petroglyphs and dramatic rock formations. Its easy walking trail makes it accessible for travelers of all ages, while the personalized attention of a local guide ensures a rich cultural experience.

Whether you're a history enthusiast, nature lover, or curious explorer, this tour offers an authentic, immersive glimpse into the heritage and landscapes that make Arequipa truly special.
