Tour Itinerary

First we will go to the charming Yanahuara viewpoint, from where a spectacular panorama of the city of Arequipa opens up before us. Here, we will be amazed by the panoramic views while learning about the history and architecture of this charming city.

After we have absorbed the beauty of Yanahuara, we will enter the fascinating Añashuayco quarries, where we will discover the secrets of sillar quarrying and carving. We will learn about this distinctive material, a unique volcanic stone used in the construction of many of the most emblematic buildings in Arequipa, including the majestic Arequipa Cathedral and the Santa Catalina Monastery.

Following our tour, we will venture on a hike through the impressive Culebrillas Gorge. Here, we will witness the impressive work of nature, with its imposing rock formations sculpted by the erosion of water over the millennia. In addition, we will have the opportunity to admire the ancient petroglyphs that adorn the walls of this canyon, left by ancient civilizations that inhabited this land.

For those looking for an extra dose of excitement, we offer the option to participate in an exciting rock climbing session. Guided by experts, you will be able to challenge your limits and enjoy the adrenaline as you climb the rocks of the Culebrillas Gorge.

Finally, we will return to Arequipa, with hearts full of unforgettable memories of this unique experience on the Ashlar route and the Culebrillas Canyon.

Best experience in Cusco My experience with Andino Peru Tour was wonderful. Impeccable, honest, punctual, respectable work. I only have compliments for everyone on the team, from Ricardo, who first assisted us via WhatsApp, to the transfer back home, as well as all the guides, hotel receptionists, and drivers involved in these five days in Cusco.

Andino Peru Tours is a 10! Ricardo, from Andino Peru Tours, has always been very attentive, since our first contact. He was careful with our stay, always looking to know how we were and if we needed anything. We really like the tours and guides offered by the agency, including he managed to change one of the tours that was already included in the package to better meet our needs. It was all very organized. We really enjoyed traveling with Andino Peru Tours and we recommend the agency.

Spectacular. We were happy with our trip through Cusco with Andino Perú Tours. From the first moment, we felt very close and warm attention, always looking out for us and resolving every doubt with kindness. We did Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain, and everything turned out perfect. The service was excellent from beginning to end. The hotel was very good, comfortable, and well-located. The guides were very good, attentive, and always willing to help us. The transportation was also excellent: punctual, safe, and comfortable for all transfers. Without a doubt, a highly recommended agency. If you visit Cusco and want a well-organized experience with a personal touch, don't hesitate! We would travel with them again.
