What to expect

We will learn about the constructions based on volcanic rock (Sillar) making a stop at the Zamacola viewpoint where we can appreciate the 3 volcanoes from another angle that surround the city, such as: Misti, Chachani and Pichu Pichu.

We will observe the immense cliffs worked by the hand of man with an ancestral technique of ashlar extraction that is still preserved from colonial times to the present day.

Then we will go to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, arriving at this point we will take a 20-minute walk into the small canyon that was formed by the passage of water, which has walls of 15 to 20 meters.

We will observe the Apachetas, which are stone formations placed one on top of the other that are a symbol of gratitude towards nature and also an attraction of good luck which cause a mystical sensation.
