The visit lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes, allowing time to admire this vast necropolis\u2014the largest of its kind in Peru. Built from volcanic stone, these towers reach heights of up to 12 meters. Kolla leaders were buried here alongside the gold and silver attire, utensils, and instruments they used in life, reflecting their belief in eternal life. Known as the &#8220;House of the Dead,&#8221; this site on the Sillustani peninsula\u2014surrounded by Lake Umayo\u2014was chosen by cultures such as the Kolla, Lupaca, Tiahuanaco, and Inca as a resting place for spirits. It is an excellent spot to watch the Andean sunset at an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level. The site also features high-relief carvings\u2014such as a puma head, a lizard, and a snake\u2014as well as the &#8220;Inti Watana&#8221; temple. On the return trip to Puno, there will be a visit to a traditional local home.<\/p><p>Includes:<\/p><p>\u2022 Transportation<\/p><p>\u2022 Entrance fee to the complex<\/p><p>\u2022 Guide (English, Spanish)<\/p><p>Does not include:<\/p><p>\u2022 Pick-up from hotels outside the city<\/p><p>\u2022 Extras<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Book this tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<script>\n  if (typeof hasAmeliaEntitiesApiCall === 'undefined' && ('' === '' && '' === '' && '' !== '1')) {\n    var hasAmeliaEntitiesApiCall = true;\n  }\n  var ameliaShortcodeData = (typeof ameliaShortcodeData === 'undefined') ?
