Ancient burial towers overlooking Lake Umayo

Discover one of Puno’s most important archaeological complexes. Sillustani contains dozens of chullpas, or burial towers, built in different periods by Colla communities and later by the Incas.

The guided route climbs the peninsula to examine construction techniques, funerary traditions and some of the most representative structures, surrounded by the landscape of Lake Umayo. On the return journey, there may be a short cultural stop in the rural surroundings of Atuncolla.
