Description
On a plateau, more than 30 kilometers north of Puno, is Sillustani, one of the largest necropolises in the world. Surrounded by a landscape of impressive beauty, which seems to be summed up in the serene waters of the Umayo lagoon, the archaeological complex stands out for its gigantic “chullpas” (species of stone towers), built by collas and Incas, to bury its dead. Many of them exceed 12 meters in height and have a larger diameter at the top than at the base. Quite a challenge to the laws of gravity and balance. A detail that makes them unique on the continent. Tombs of noble collas, eternal abode of the children of the Sun, who, when dominating these lands, would add architectural characteristics similar to those of the Temple of the Sun or Cori Cancha, in Cusco
