We booked a private tour, but were picked up with an already full mini bus. The whole tour was a Spanish tour, while we booked an English one. The guide was taking us aside at each stop to give as a translation in English. The quarry itself was underwhelming to be honest. The last stop was a little canyon which was nice. Overall the trip was somewhat saved by the guide trying to make the experience as nice as possible for us and the canyon. Still we booked a private tour but received a group tour.The statues were cool, but not amazing. The guide was good and the views were absolutely stunning. The best part was the walk through the canyon, very pretty views and good photo opportunities.

The tour lasted just the right amount of time to experience the Sillar while also visiting the Mirador de Yanahuara, and then to have a free afternoon to continue experiencing Arequipa. Totally recomended!

Miguel/Michael/Mike is a very congenial host. He translated everything into English and Spanish. I was looking forward to the Petroglyph part of the tour. The picture on TripAdvisor is the only "petroglyph" there. All else were carvings of animals, a Nativity scene and more. Families come here for photographs and what I think is family portraits and celebrations. Bathrooms tbathroom hat were open were clean and stocked. 1 womans was closed, but 3 others open. Celebrities has 1 bathroom only. I did not take the walk as it was too hot for me June 18th I was here. Bring water, hat, sunscreen. When the locals are sitting in the shade, yep you need the sunscreen. Was it worthwhile? I say yes.
