Tour Sillar Route & Culebrillas Canyon

If you like the constructions that can be seen in the Plaza de Armas of Areuipa, you will like to know the place where the material for its construction came from. The ashlar is a volcanic rock of the ignimbrite type that was used since past times, used due to the scarcity of construction materials such as wood and brick.

Today we find white ashlar in Arequipa, both in buildings and in its quarries. We can also find pink, orange and shades of gray ashlar.

The Ruta del Sillar is one of the most popular routes in Arequipa as it combines volcanic rock formations that are used by artisans of sillar.

We will also visit the Cuñebrillas canyon, which is nothing more than a ravine formed by nature itself and the passage of water.
