    This was an amazing tour of the Ruta de Sillar, including stops at the Mirador de Yanahuara and Mirador de Carmen Alto. Our guide Olivia was fantastic at providing us with information and answering any questions we had. It was also very convenient that the tour company offered to pick us up and drop us off at our hotel directly. We appreciated their timeliness, hospitality, and knowledge of the area and culture.

    Our trip to Sillar was on time, comprehensive, and good value for money. Everything was included, including water and entry. The car was clean, working seatbelts, and safe driving. Our guide, Sline, was so knowledgeable and always had something to add. We never felt rushed. At the mine, we saw other groups stop for 15 minutes to take photos and go, while we walked through and were given explanations of the statues' significance, cost, etc. So I was glad to be on my tour. I would recommend it for a casual morning out.

    The tour of the quarry was awesome but also a little sad to see the craftsman working in that heat... I loved Yanahuara District!! It is a beautiful district with a great viewpoint:) Also has the most beautiful park with fountain in the middle.

    This is one of the many sites where you can get an idea of volcanic explosions and lava deposits that was used to built the city of Arequipa. There are any carvings on the lava, as there are in the actual city around the old buildings including the cathedral.
