Customer Reviews
This place is absolutely amazing. It is not only peaceful and quiet but you actually feel we energized. I highly recommend visiting and using Destination Discovery travel agency to do so.
Absolutely breathtaking! Visiting Sillustani is like stepping back in time. The ancient chullpas, or funerary towers, stand proudly on a peninsula with a stunning panoramic view of Lake Umayo. The craftsmanship of these structures is incredible, and the historical significance of the Colla and Inca civilizations is palpable. The atmosphere is mystical and peaceful, making it a perfect spot for reflection and photography. Just be prepared for the high altitude and cool winds—bring warm clothing! It's a must-see on any trip from Puno and a truly unforgettable experience.
The tombs are imposant and the views over the lagoon are breathtaking, we would definitely recommend going there. We learned quite a few things about the history of the place. It was one of the two places we liked most around Puno.
