What you'll see and do
Ruta Del Sillar
We’ll pick you up from your accommodation in Arequipa early in the morning to begin the Sillar Route. Our first stop will be a scenic viewpoint offering panoramic views of the volcanoes surrounding the city. Next, we’ll visit the Añashuayco Quarry, where you’ll see local stonemasons at work and admire the impressive canyon formed by sillar stone extraction. We’ll then head to the Culebrillas Ravine, a narrow water canyon with walls up to 20 meters high, where we’ll take a short 20-minute walk through its peaceful interior. Our final stop will be the petroglyphs carved into the stone—mysterious figures whose meaning remains unknown. We’ll return to Arequipa around 1:00 PM.

Why this scores 51
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.
How much does Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arequipa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arequipa is not rushed.
Is Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arequipa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arequipa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arequipa and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arequipa Sillar Stone Quarries and Culebrillas Canyon Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arequipa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Arequipa?
+
On Outty we rank every Arequipa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chili River White Water Rafting Adventure with Pickup, Arequipa Rafting on the Chili river free pick-up,snack,&fhotos, 2 Day 1 Night Trek Colca Canyon. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arequipa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arequipa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
