Make the most of your travel day by visiting Sillustani, one of the most mystical and impressive archaeological sites in the highlands of Peru, en route from Juliaca Airport to Puno. This is a perfect option for travelers arriving in Juliaca in the morning or early afternoon and heading to Puno.
Sillustani is famous for its cylindrical funerary towers, known as chullpas, built by pre-Inca and Inca civilizations. These towers are located on a scenic peninsula overlooking Lake Umayo, offering breathtaking views of the altiplano landscape and a deep sense of Andean spiritual culture.
With a private vehicle and professional guide, this short yet rich excursion gives you an inspiring cultural introduction before reaching your hotel in Puno.
