Review of Puno’s half-day Sillustani tour, with ancient chullpas, Umayo Lagoon views, a rural home visit, pricing, tips, and drawbacks.

“A very well-organised tour and a great way to spend the afternoon. First was a brief stop at the Puno lookout then a stop at a family home near Sillustani (loved the Guinea pigs). Sillustani is beautiful, the knowledgeable guide explained everything and answered all the questions and we had plenty of time to have a look ourselves. The view over the Umayo Lagoon are wonderful, especially late afternoon.”

Visit Sillustani’s ancient chullpas, Umayo Lagoon, and a small site museum on a practical half-day tour from Puno.

“The tour started right on time. The guide was great, very much to the point and sharing important information about Sillustani. He encouraged questions and answered them well. He was relaxed and in a good mood but was in command to make sure we covered all that we need to know and also some free time for pictures or shopping some local goods. Great visit to a pre-inka site, quite impressive. We also learned a bit about the differences and commonalities between the Quechua and Aymara languages and ethnic groups that still inhabit Puno.

Review of Puno’s Sillustani half-day tour, with chullpas, Umayo Lagoon views, transport details, guide quality, price, and practical tips.

“My wife and I were visiting the Puno region because we wanted to see the highest navigable waterway in the world in Lake Titicaca and visiting Sillustani was just an activity that was added on to kill time before our flight out of Juliaca. Roger, the owner/tour guide made our visit to Sillustani a very special one. He is a passionate guy that truly cares about his country and its traditions. We had a private tour and had the entire site to ourselves. One of the perks of visiting during a pandemic. The site itself offers very picturesque views of the lake, island and valley below which is probably why…”
