On the journey to the Sillar Route, where quarries and the origin of ashlar will be explored, the Añashuayco Quarry will be visited. Here, an impressive canyon with skylights several meters high, created by the extraction for Sillares formation, can be admired. A remarkable carving of the Church of the Society of Jesus, crafted by the stonemasons themselves, is also on display. Visitors have the opportunity to meet one of the stonemasons, who will explain their daily work and allow guests to try cutting a stone block. The tour then proceeds to the Quebrada de Culesbrillas, where a 20-minute walk through a small canyon formed by water passage awaits. At the end of the walk, petroglyphs created by the Wari culture over a thousand years ago can be observed. It is important to remember that the tour begins with a visit to the Mirador de Yanahuara.
