Itinerary

This tour starts at 02:00 pm, we will start with the pick up of our passengers from their respective hotels and then visit the archaeological site of Sillustani, this place is located 30 minutes from Puno. The archaeological complex of Sillustani was a cemetery built in the thirteenth century by a civilization that occupied the area before the Inca domination.

During the trip our guide will give us a brief information about the area and its population, when we arrive to Sillustani we will start a walk that normally lasts one hour and during this walk the guide will make some stops to explain about our ancestors the Kollas and Incas, the technique they used to build the burial towers. Then we will continue with the tour until we reach the top of the site which is surrounded by a beautiful lagoon called Umayo, from the top we will be able to observe this beautiful lagoon and we will have free time to take some pictures, walk around the place, or meditate for a few minutes, since this place is magical and full of energy.

Finally we will return to the parking area to board our mobility and return to Puno at 05:30 pm approx.
