This was a great afternoon with a great guide (Franco). He explained the history, geography and geology and was very patient taking photos of us. We went to a place with a great view of the volcanoes, valleys and terraces. Then we walked through the sillar quarry where local stone masons have carved all sorts of things. The tour ended with a walk through a small canyon carved by wind and water. It was all so interesting and a great break out of the noisy central city.

Had an amazing time on this tour! Our guide took time to explain everything in English, and gave a very comprehensive and interesting explanation of the surrounding volcanoes en route to the Sillar Route. There was enough time to explore the quarries and we took plenty of pictures.
