Plaza de Yanahuara We will initially visit one of the most important and representative viewpoints of the city, from where we will have an impressive view of the Volcanoes, as well as appreciate a large part of Arequipa, considered by many as a great place for photographs and to look for the famous phrase that every Arequipeño carries in his blood, "YOU ARE NOT BORN IN VAIN AT THE FOOT OF A VOLCANO"

Duration:  40 minutes

Canteras de Sillar After 45 minutes we will arrive at the famous Añashuayco Quarries, an emblematic site for the extraction of volcanic rock, widely used in colonial times and today for the construction of the main monuments and homes of Arequipa. We will have a spectacular view of the quarries with walls more than 30 meters high. In this place our official guide will tell us all the history and characteristics of this beautiful place.
