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.
