Itinerary

  1. Your private driver and tour guide will pick you up from your hotel for your tour of Sillustani and Chucuito. On our first stop we will visit the interesting archaeological site of Sillustani. This site is a sacred pre-Inca cemetery that houses elevated tombs built in the form of tall towers made of giant stones. You will also have the opportunity to visit some local houses where you will learn about daily life in this part of the Andes. After the excursion, we will take you back to Puno for lunch. In the afternoon we will take you to Chucuito. Chucuito is one of the oldest towns in the region and is located 18 kilometers south of Puno. Here you will visit the ancient and exciting Temple of Fertility, which is the “must see” attraction in Chucuito. It is a small temple with dozens of meter-high stone phalluses planted in the ground. Unfortunately, many of the stones were stolen years ago by locals and the temple was buried and abandoned. However, in recent years archaeologists have restored the temple to its former splendor and most of the phalluses have been returned to their original location. The temple continues to work its magic, as local women still sneak into it at night, with coca leaves and chicha, to celebrate a ceremony meant to help them get pregnant. After the excursion, we will take you back to your hotel.
