Sillustani è un sito archeologico pre-Inca sulle rive del lago di Umayo vicino a Puno in Perù. Le tombe rinvenute nel sito sono costruite fuori terra a forma di torre circolare, chiamate chullpas, sono opera del popolo Aymara Colla, conquistati dagli Inca nel 15° secolo. Le strutture ospitavano i resti di gruppi familiari completi, anche se sono probabilmente della sola nobiltà. Molte delle tombe sono state dinamite dai tombaroli, mentre altre furono lasciate incompiute.

Una mujer colla lleva su pequeño hijo caminando por el lecho de un rio seco.
Si bien el origen de los collas es desconocido, se tienen noticias de su existencia al menos desde fines del siglo XII, en el ocaso del Imperio Tiahuanaco, en torno al lago Titicaca, en Bolivia. En el siglo XV el territorio ocupado por los collas habría sido invadido por el Imperio inca, lo cual habría generado una revuelta que habría finalizado con la incorporación de los collas como soldados en la expansión al sur, y a su vez como trabajadores en los nuevos territorios conquistados, particularmente al actual noroeste argentino. En la actualidad, los collas se reconocen como descendientes directos de esa migración forzosa.

The Kolla have lived in their region for centuries, before the arrival of the Inca Empire in the 15th century. Sillustani is a prehistoric Kolla cemetery in Peru, with elaborate stone Chullpas. Several groups made up the Kolla people, including the Omaguaca, Zenta, and Gispira. The Kolla came into contact with Spaniards in 1540. They resisted Spanish invasion for 110 years but ultimately lost the Santiago Estate to the Spanish. One particularly famous rebel leader was Ñusta Huillac, a female warrior who fought the Spanish in 1780. With Argentinian independence in 1810, Kolla's situation did not improve and they worked for minimal wages.
Chullpas - A chullpa is an ancient Aymara funerary tower originally constructed for a noble person or noble family. Chullpas are found across the Altiplano in Peru and Bolivia. The tallest are about 12 metres (39 ft) high.
