This attraction stands out for its gigantic “chullpas” (types of stone towers), built by Collas and Incas, to bury their dead.
The archaeological site of Sillustani is a cemetery that was built in the 12th century by the Qolla civilization that occupied the area before Inca rule. The most imposing towers were built for important chiefs and priests. These ancient civilizations considered cemeteries to be places of rest and rebirth. Therefore, they chose beautiful places to build their cemeteries and these were considered sacred places. Our professional guide will provide you with extensive information about this attraction.
