It is currently in operation, the stonemasons carry out their work very early; in the place we will be able to appreciate an immense canyon with cliffs (ignimbrite walls) that are several meters high, formed by the extraction for the formation of the Ashlars. At this point we will tell you the history of ashlar, its elaboration and the use that has always been given to it. In this quarry you will be able to appreciate a Megacarving of the Church of the Society of Jesus made by the stonemasons themselves. We can also visit some of them so that they can explain us what their daily work is like and they can make us experiment by cutting one of their stone blocks ourselves.

Then we will move to the Quebrada de Culebrillas, which is 30 minutes away from Añashuayco.
