Description
Embark on a fascinating tour of the Sillustani archaeological complex, known for its impressive pre-Incan chullpas (funerary towers). We will pick you up at your hotel and head to the outskirts of Puno, towards the Sillustani peninsula, located on the shores of the Umayo lagoon.
Itinerary
Upon arrival, our guide will take you to explore the chullpas, funerary towers built by the Kolla culture and later used by the Incas. You will learn about the construction techniques and meaning of these structures, as well as the beliefs and funerary rituals of the pre-Hispanic cultures of the region.
In addition to the chullpas, you will enjoy the impressive panoramic views of the Umayo lagoon and the surrounding landscape. This natural environment adds a special dimension to the visit, combining history and nature in one place.
After exploring Sillustani, we will return to Puno, where we will drop you off at your hotel, completing an educational and visually striking visit in the Peruvian Altiplano.
