This archeological site is a cemetery that was built on the XII century by the Kolla culture that lived there before the Inca conquest.

The most stunning towers in this place were built for the most important chiefs and priests. Ancient civilizations that spread in Peru considered that cemeteries were resting places for its dead. Therefore, beautiful places that were considered sacred spaces were strategically chosen by them.

When walking around Sillustani, we can feel the energy emanating from the entire mainland and the harmony of the landscape is propitious for recharging our hearts with peace.

It is possible to visit La Paz and other attractions in Bolivia as optional extensions, either by bus or across the Titicaca Lake.
