Latest Check-Ins

career as a pillar. tourist site in a quarry where multiple stone statues are exhibited. few explanations. price 5 sol pp, free for children up to 10 years old. Be careful to go see certain statues you have to pay an additional 2 or 3 sol. We did not consider it necessary to pay more because we can see the statues from afar. continuing on foot a little further into the quarry I had the chance to see the sculptors working on a new series of statues on the theme of mythology.

carrière de pillar. site touristique dans une carrière où sont exposées de multiples statues de pierre. peu d’explications. prix 5 sol pp, gratuit pour les enfants jusqu’à 10 ans. attention pour faire aller voir certaines statues il faut payer en plus2 ou 3 sol. nous n’avons pas juger nécessaire de payer plus car on voit les statues de loin. en continuant à pied un peu plus loin dans la carrière j’ai eu la chance de voir les sculpteurs travailler sur une nouvelle série de statues sur le thème de la mythologie.

NOT WORTH driving the bad roads here. It’s packed with tourist buses and insane amount of bugs/sand flies right now. Carvings are way smaller than they look in pictures.

still same price. bathrooms clean. there’s also running water (local lady said it’s potable). they sell snacks, drinks and souvenirs.
be careful not to park near the rocky walls, there’s rocks falling and may reach your vehicle.

Interesting work. Dusty area. Roads a bit tricky. 5s per person. Clean bathrooms. Quirky stop. Search Canteras de Sillar to find more info.

Interesting rock carvings. Worth a short stop on your way out of Arequipa. Parking area, toilets, tiny store. Lady in a uniform charging S/5 per person.
NOTE this dot is placed a tiny bit too far north, so your mapping program may direct you to approach from the north - wrong! Aim for the road to the South of this dot, then you'll see signs and a reasonable road. (We first tried to access from the north but it's tiny mining roads, no parking, and a steep hike down)
