• Mirador Puma Uta - On the journey to Sillustani, a stop is made at Puma Uta, a hilltop viewpoint located just north of Puno. From this vantage point, the city unfolds below, and Lake Titicaca extends towards the horizon. On clear days, the distant islands can even be seen. It’s an ideal opportunity to absorb the scenery, enjoy the highland breeze, and capture some panoramic photos before venturing further into the altiplano. The viewpoint is named after the large puma sculpture at the summit, which honors one of the most powerful symbols in Andean tradition: strength, protection, and connection to the earth.
• Atuncolla - Before arriving at Sillustani, a visit is made to the community of Atuncolla, home to descendants of the ancient Qolla culture. Visitors can step into a traditional family home where guinea pigs scurry around the kitchen, as they have for centuries, and llamas and alpacas graze just outside. The family demonstrates how they hand-weave alpaca fiber, introduces the different varieties of quinoa and Andean grains they harvest, and highlights the medicinal plants they still use daily. It’s a leisurely, authentic glimpse into highland life that most visitors don’t expect to find just 30 minutes from Puno.
• Sillustani - Prepare for an unforgettable experience at the Sillustani tombs, set against the breathtaking Umayo Lagoon. These ancient towers, known as chullpas, were initially constructed by the Kolla people and later adapted by the Incas for use as tombs for chiefs and priests. Some towers reach heights of up to 10 meters!

The experience begins with a 30-minute walk to the top, where visitors can get up close to these remarkable structures. Along the way, the differences between pre-Inca and Inca burial towers can be observed, learning how each culture left its mark on the site. Once at the top, a guide will lead visitors through the main burial site, explaining the historical and cultural significance of the tombs.

The views are spectacular—enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape, including Lake Umayo, while exploring this ancient and tranquil place. It’s a perfect blend of history, nature, and local culture.
