Discover the
wonders of Puno visiting the mysterious funerary towers or
also known as Chullpas of Sillustani.
The tombs of Sillustani are incredible stone towers surrounded by the
beautiful Umayo lagoon and it is the
most important pre Inca and Inca burial site in Peru.
You will explore this fantastic place and we are going to visit a local family
to learn about their customs.
If
you don’t have time enough to explore Puno,
you can do the tour to Sillustani Puno
on your way to the airport of Juliaca.
We will pick you
up from your hotel located in the city of Puno to go towards the archaeological site of Sillustani
Puno. This amazing complex is located on the top of a peninsula on the shores of Lake Umayo,
22.3 miles from the city of Puno and Lake
Titicaca.
This place has
circa 90 funerary towers built by the Kolla culture, an Aymara community
developed before the Inca Empire. A lot of mummies have
been found inside these towers, including important people as priests, leaders
and nobles. They were previously mummified and were places as fetal position,
along with all their belongings such as gold, silver and ceramics.
The state of
conservation of these burial towers is
impressive, all of them were made with stones
with varying shapes that fix each other perfectly. The architecture and engineering
used by the Kolla culture was quite advance for its time. Some of them are 12 meters’
high, where the Lagarto Chullpa is the tallest and most representative tower.
The Sillustani tour continues with the
visit to a local family that breeds Alpacas and they will show
us how they process and cook their own food, their lifestyle, their looms and
how they maintain ancestral customs.
At the end of the
visit, you will be transferred back to the hotel, or you can choose the tour
with the transfer to the airport of Juliaca (optional).
