Sillar Route + Thermal Baths

Between 8:00 and 8:30 am - Meeting at the meeting point. Departure to the Cerro Colorado District. Transfer to Las Canteras de Añashuayco, where the combination of natural landscape and living culture offers the visitor a unique experience. We will appreciate the huge cliffs of up to 30 m. of height carved "to combo and chisel", facades or colonial carvings, finding the workshops of interpretation of the carved of sillar directed by stonemasons. During the visit you can hear the voice of the master stonemason, now known as "cutters", whose ages fluctuate between 21 and 80 years. We will appreciate falls of larger blocks and the wonderful experience of seeing small blocks of sillar made with ancestral instruments used from generation to generation. Visit to the "Quarry of Culebrillas", a natural ravine formed by the erosion of water and wind, whose name is due to its geography that, in the form of narrow rows, show us the beauty of a "Virgin Quarry" that, when traversing it, causes sensations of majesty and mystery. There is a space formed by the crossroads in whose farellones are recorded petroglyphs of different forms, which is possible to have Wari influence. Later we will visit the thermal baths of Yura, a complex of thermal waters located in the foothills of the Chachani volcano. The medicinal pools have a temperature that fluctuates between 29 ° and 31 °. The hot springs of Yura are springs of ferruginous and sulphurous waters, effective for the treatment of rheumatic, epidermal and digestive disorders.
