In the
archaeological site of Sillustani, 34 Km
north from of the
City of
Puno, on
the shore of beautiful Umayo Lagoon, one
runs into enigmatic chullpas, which were
built by the Collas, some of which are
more than 12 m. high. Used to bury the
most important personalities of this
nation, the chullpas know as Lagarto and
Intiwatana are the most prominent.
