Discover a pre-Incan cemetery and learn about Peru’s ancient cultures and traditions on this day trip to Sillustani from Puno.

Tour Details

After hotel pickup, we’ll travel northeast for approximately 45 minutes to the archaeological site of Sillustani. Located on the shores of Lake Umayo, at 13,123 feet (4,000 meters) above sea level, you will see the chullpas, which are tombs built in tower-like structures that have a larger diameter at the top than at the bottom.
