Sillustani Chullpas Sunset Tour – Small Group

Explore the Chullpas of Sillustani, funerary towers up to 12 meters (39 feet) high. Admire the spectacular Umayo Lagoon. Learn from locals about the Andean worldview and the rituals of life and death.
Your adventure begins with a comfortable transfer from the city of Puno, leaving the hustle and bustle behind to venture into the vastness of the high Andean landscapes. After a short drive, you will arrive at the Sillustani Peninsula, a pre-Columbian cemetery renowned for its unique architecture and prime location.

Accompanied by an expert guide, you will begin a gentle hike to the top of the complex. There, you will find yourself standing in front of the famous Chullpas, circular stone towers that reach up to 12 meters (39 feet) in height. You will learn to distinguish the fine carving technique of the Inca culture from the robust engineering of the Kollas, gaining an understanding of why this place was chosen as the final resting place for their most important nobles.

As you explore the site, Lake Umayo will unfold before your eyes like a giant natural mirror. The contrast between the gray ruins, the deep blue of the water, and the endless sky of the Altiplano creates an atmosphere of absolute peace. You will have time to take incredible photos and, weather permitting, witness the famous “golden glow” that bathes the towers at sunset, a moment steeped in mysticism.

Finally, before heading back to Puno, you will have the chance to learn about local life and the area's crafts, taking home not only photos but also a genuine connection to the living history of the Andes.
