the ashlar The first point we will stop at will be the Añashuayco quarry; which we will arrive in 45 minutes approx. It is currently in operation, the stonecutters perform
their work from very early; in the place we will be able to appreciate an immense canyon with cliffs (walls of ignimbrita) that are several metres high, formed by the extraction for the
Formation of the Sillares. At this point we will tell you the history of the ashlar, the elaboration and the use that has always been given to it. In this quarry you can see a mega-detail of the Church of
the Company of Jesus made by the stonecutters themselves. We can also visit some of them so they can explain to us what their daily work is like and make us experience
cutting ourselves one of its stone blocks.

height. At the end of the walk we can observe petroglyphs made by the Wari culture over a thousand years ago. Before returning to the city we will observe the Apachetas that are formations of
stone placed on top of each other that are a symbol of gratitude towards nature and also good luck attraction which cause a mystical sensation.
