One of the most important necropolises of the Andean highlands
Located 34 km northwest of the city of Puno, Sillustani is home to one of the largest necropolises in the world. Its impressive chullpas—funerary towers built by the Colla and Inca cultures—reflect the advanced architectural and spiritual knowledge of ancient Andean civilizations.
Natural landscape and ancestral energy
Set on a peninsula surrounded by Lake Umayo, the archaeological complex offers a harmonious natural environment. The surrounding mountains mirrored in the lake create a peaceful atmosphere that invites reflection and connection with Andean cosmology.
