    What you'll see and do

    1. Ruta Del Sillar

      The excursion will begin with pickup from your hotel in Arequipa at the time you choose. From there, we will take the Uchumayo road until we reach the ashlar stone quarries, where we will take a guided tour to learn about the work of the stonemasons, a craft that has been active since ancient times. The stones from this area have the peculiarity that they can only be worked by hand, otherwise they would break. The work of the stonemasons is to carve the stone until it forms the ashlar that will later be used in the constructions so typical of this area of Peru. Did you know that this material comes from the lava of the volcanoes that surround Arequipa?

    2. Arequipa

      Afterwards, we will walk for half an hour to our next destination, the Culebrillas canyon, a ravine formed by nature itself and the passage of water. Here we will take a hiking route between its rock walls between 15 and 20 meters high and you will be able to take some great photos. In addition, we will be able to see the ancient petroglyphs, cave symbols engraved in the rock whose meaning is a mystery. After four hours of tour, we will return to the center of Arequipa. The excursion will end near the Plaza de Armas

    Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arequipa.

    How much does Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon cost?

    +

    Prices start at $17 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 Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon?

    +

    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 Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon?

    +

    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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Arequipa Tour to Sillar and Canyon 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?

    +

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.
