Highlights
- Sillustani - Departure from your Puno hotel is scheduled around 13:30h for our excursion to the Sillustani Ceremonial Center, situated 34 km from Puno. This tour offers a glimpse into the extraordinary architecture and engineering of the era, as seen in the chullpa lizard phallic-shaped towers, which are 12 meters tall with inverted conical structures made from massive stone blocks that seem to defy gravity. These pre-Incan and Incan necropolises are unparalleled in Peru. Experience the positive vibes of this hallowed site, enveloped by breathtaking natural beauty, a picturesque landscape enhanced by the mystical Isla Umayo Lagoon, and native wildlife such as vicunas, alpacas, and Vizcachas. The visit lasts about an hour before we transport you back to your hotel, allowing you to relax and explore the city at your own pace.
