The stones of this area have the peculiarity that they can only be worked by hand, otherwise they would break. The work of the stonemasons is to carve the stone to form the ashlar that will later be used in the constructions so typical of this area of Peru. Did you know that this material comes from the lava of the volcanoes that surround Arequipa?
Afterwards, we will walk for half an hour to our next destination, the Culebrillas canyon, a ravine formed by nature itself and the passage of water. Here we will take a hiking route among its rocky walls of between 15 and 20 meters high and you will be able to take some great pictures. In addition, we will be able to see the millenary petroglyphs, rock symbols engraved in the rock whose meaning is a mystery.
