Sillustani Archaeological Complex

Located 34 kilometers north of Puno (35 minutes by car), this archaeological complex is located near the Umayo Lagoon. It is famous for its chullpas, which are circular stone towers built to house the funerary remains of the leading authorities of the ancient inhabitants of Collao. Some reach up to 12 meters high and are characterized by their base being smaller than the top. A short distance from the archaeological site is a museum, where you can see various pieces from the Colla, Tiahuanaco and Inca cultures.
