Sillustani Half-Day Tour from Puno: Burial Towers and Lake Umayo

An afternoon at Sillustani, where the Colla people built their burial towers (chullpas) on a ridge above Lake Umayo. On the 40-minute drive from Puno, stop at a family house in Atuncolla. At the site, walk 15 to 20 minutes up stone steps to the ridge at 3,895 m. Then spend about an hour with your guide among the towers, including the Lagarto tower and an unfinished tower that still shows the ramp used to build it. You're back in Puno around 6 pm.
