Description

Explore the chullpas of Sillustani next to the Umayo Lagoon on a half-day tour with transport from your hotel in Puno and a bilingual guide.
Escape the city and discover one of the most fascinating landscapes of the Peruvian highlands. On this half-day tour from Puno, you'll travel by tourist transport to the Sillustani peninsula, an ancient pre-Inca cemetery famous for its chullpas: stone funerary towers built by Andean cultures such as the Colla. With a bilingual (Spanish/English) professional guide, you'll learn about the meaning of these structures, their rituals, and the history of the place as you tour the complex with open views of the Umayo Lagoon. The itinerary includes a brief stop in Atuncolla and enough time in Sillustani to walk, take photos, and enjoy the surroundings. It includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Puno, ideal if you're looking for a complete cultural experience without taking up the whole day.
