This will open our booking form, where you will have to select your preferred departure date. Then, fill in each participant’s personal information. The final step is payment, which can be made by credit or debit card.

In addition, additional options are available such as a visit to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, live ashlar carving demonstrations or entry to the workshops of the master stonemasons. This data can be managed and paid for in advance through our website to secure your entire experience.

Of course, you can store your luggage or extra belongings safely. You don’t need to carry large suitcases to the quarries, as a small backpack is enough for the half-day visit. You can hand over your bags to our staff at the time of pick-up at your hotel to be dropped off in our secure transport or stored in our office. At the end of the entire visit to the quarries, at wperu-travel we will return your belongings to you immediately.

There are several reasons. First of all, we use modern and comfortable tourist transport units, ideal for the dirt roads to the Añashuayco quarries. Secondly, we work exclusively with official tour guides who explain in detail the geological history of Arequipa and the art of colonial architecture. Third, we include full entry fees to quarries to avoid last-minute charges. Finally, we directly support local artisans by paying fair prices for their demonstrations and maintain groups with a controlled size for a better experience.

In case you feel unwell or any discomfort arises during the visit to the quarries, the wperu-travel team is fully prepared to help you quickly. Our exclusive transportation remains with the group along the circuit on the outskirts of the city, ensuring a quick evacuation to the nearest health centers in Arequipa. In such a situation, our guide and driver will prioritize your well-being and assist you at all times so that you receive the necessary medical attention without delay
