Let’s walk on this journey
Sillustani is a pre-Inca and Inca cemetery, it is located 34 km from the City of Puno, approximately 40 minutes from Puno.
Duration: 3 1/2 hours (From 2pm to 6pm).
The different Chullpas or funerary towers of Sillustani rise up to 12 meters high and belong to pre-Inca and Inca cultures. These are located on a small peninsula surrounded by the Umayo lagoon, from where we can appreciate all its natural beauty as well as the architecture and engineering of the time.
In each tower the remains of noblemen were found, buried along with offerings to ensure their passage to another life. Especially near the funerary tower or chullpa of the lizard, the royal trousseau of a nobleman was found with more than 500 pieces of gold, these pieces are exhibited in the Carlos Dreyer museum in the city of Puno.
