Ruta del Sillar
Located on the outskirts of the city, the Sillar Route spans over 2km (1.2mi) in the Cerro Colorado district. On the base of the inactive Chachani Volcano, the district divides into 3 locations – Añashuayco, Cortadores, and Virgen de Culebrillas. Each location have their own ashlar quarries (canteras) formed thousands of years ago due to the volcanic activity. Upon its creation, the ashlar has played a huge role in the construction of the city.
