Arequipa is known as the White City,
white for the houses, monuments and
temples built on the basis of ashlar,
which led Unesco to declare this
beautiful city as a Cultural Heritage
of Humanity in 2000. Volcanic lava
was used by our ancestors to turn it
into blocks of ashlar and with them
build houses and temples. Now the
quarries from which this material is
extracted were also converted into
a circuit where the landscapea and
culture are shown. This half-day tour
begins at Añashuayco and Quebrada
de Culebrillas Quarries, going back to
the past and crossing this narrow ravine
whose opening has been eroded for
thousands of years by water and wind.
