Not to be missed in your visit to Arequipa

Published on Feb, 2025

We visited La ruta del sillar with Oscar Trips Peru. The tour took 4 hours visiting very interesting places with magnificent views. The walks were very manageable and fun. Our guide, Alexandra, was very professional and helpful and provided a wealth of information about the area, the quarry and the canyon. Don Hernan, the driver, made us feel safe during the whole route. Totally recommend this tour.

All this porous white stone....

Published on Sep, 2024

The sillar stone quarry was wonderful, but not enough time to wander throughout the whole thing and relax and take pictures. I wish they had skipped that time at the mirador at the beginning for pictures. I never heard that that was part of the tour in the first place, but in the end, I was tired and so happy. The stone quarry filled my soul. There's also a truck through a tiny narrow canyon to see petroglyphs from the days of the Huari culture. It was cool, but do not come on this wearing sandals or flip-flops. You will want solid shoes.

Perfect Tour Company for all needs

Published on Aug, 2024

Oscar helped us with so much during our time in Arequipa. He booked us our tour to Sillar, which was great (very informative guide and comfy transport with great stops) and also helped us arrange our journey to the Colca Canyon and even helped with our transport to Puno straight from the Canyon. He helped us with baggage storage and was constantly in communication if we needed help. His prices also seem very reasonable! 10/10, thank you Oscar!

Fun Half-Day Tour

Published on Feb, 2024

Hotel pick up was timely. The tour was well organized and led by Julia, an obviously experienced guide. We lucked out with great weather to see all 3 volcanoes from the lookout point on route to the stone quarry. Even though it was a quarry-turned-tourist-attraction, it was nice to walk between the exposed white stone cliffs and see many examples of white stone carvings and statues. The short walk through the gorge to see the petroglyphs was an easy one, with only a few places where stepping down required some extra attention and care. Drop off was at the Plaza de Armas.

Best agency that I found!

Published on Jun, 2022

Very nice tour, well organized and best price. They pick you up, very flexible and customer related! For example they give you blankets during your drive which is over 3000 meters above sea level. The tours are on English and Spanish available. Thanks for the unforgettable experience!
