Sillustani is a pre-Inca and Inca cemetery located 34 kilometers from Puno city center. The site is located near the Umayo lagoon.
Sillustani is regarded as one of South America’s most important necropolis. The huge burial towers known as “Chullpas” distinguish Sillustani. The “Chullpas” are stone towers built by different civilizations that inhabited the area, including the Collas and Incas. The “Lizard’s Chullpa,” which stands over 12 meters tall, is the site’s tallest structure.
