It involves visiting the centuries-old quarries of "sillar," a whitish volcanic material that has been used in Arequipa as the main construction material for building houses, churches, and other structures in the "White City," as Arequipa is known as well.
The tour begins with pick-up from hotels or agreed-upon locations to head out of the city in a private vehicle. The journey starts with a visit to the "Culebrillas" petroglyphs (small snakes), and then continues to the actual quarries. Nowadays, there are sculptures, and the site is still being exploited to obtain construction material in traditional blocks larger than bricks. Gradually, these whitish blocks are being used less for building houses and structures, and more as ornamental pieces. Afterward, the tour returns to the city center. And that concludes the visit. The tour can start in the morning or in the afternoon and lasts approximately 4 hours.
