Duration
30 to 35 minutes
Overview
-
on the route to the Sillar Route where you visit quarries and areas where the sillar originated. We will visit the Añashuayco Quarry; In the place we will be able to appreciate an immense canyon with cliffs that are several meters high, formed by the extraction for the formation of the Sillares.You can see a Mega-carving of the Church of the Society of Jesus made by the stonecutters themselves.
We can also visit some of them so they can explain to us what their daily work is like and make us experiment by cutting one of their stone blocks ourselves.
then we will move to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, arriving at this point we will make a walk of approximately 20 minutes inside the small canyon that was formed by the passage of water
At the end of the walk we can see petroglyphs made by the Wari culture over a thousand years ago.
