Sillustani Chullpas
Built in the 13th century by the Colla civilization, it is a funerary complex composed of 91 burial towers of different sizes. On the slopes of the esplanade, several groups of agricultural terraces can also be found.
Before the bodies of the highest Colla authorities were placed in the tombs, they were mummified in a fetal position. These leaders were among the most important representatives of their society, and their personal belongings were placed alongside their bodies as part of the burial ritual.
