Beschrijving
Discover the Sillustani archaeological site on a guided tour from Puno. Visit the rural village of Atuncolla, cross Laguna Umayo by boat, and enjoy a traditional lunch at a countryside lodge.
Begin your adventure in the rural village of Atuncolla, where a local Colla family welcomes you with friendly llamas. From here, embark on a scenic 1-hour hike across the Altiplano, passing traditional stone houses and agricultural terraces until you reach the Cacsi community.
There, board a boat for a peaceful crossing of Laguna Umayo to visit Umayo Island, home to herds of vicuñas, alpacas, and llamas grazing freely.
The highlight of the day is the Sillustani peninsula, crowned by its famous Chullpas—towering pre-Inca funerary towers built by the Kolla and Inca civilizations over 3,000 years ago. Standing up to 12 meters tall, these 90+ stone tombs offer breathtaking views of the turquoise lagoon below.
Along the shores, discover the ancient Waru Waru farming technique developed by the Pucara culture, an ingenious microclimate system that protects crops from frost. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including vizcachas and native Andean birds.
Conclude your experience with a delicious traditional lunch at a rustic countryside lodge in Atuncolla, savoring regional dishes while observing the daily customs of the local Colla people. The tour ends with a comfortable return transfer to your hotel in Puno or direct connection to Juliaca Airport.
