Sillustani
The different Chullpas or funerary towers of Sillustani rise up to 12 meters high and belong to pre-Inca and Inca cultures. These are located on a small peninsula surrounded by the Umayo lagoon, from where we can appreciate all its natural beauty as well as the architecture and engineering of the time.
Remains of noblemen were found in each tower, buried along with offerings to ensure their passage to another life.
Especially near the funerary tower or chullpa del lagarto, the royal trousseau of a nobleman was found with more than 500 gold pieces, these pieces are exhibited in the Carlos Dreyer museum in the city of Puno.
