Rainbow over Sillustani.
Sillustani is a pre-Incan burial ground on the shores of Lake Umayo near Puno in Peru. The tombs, which are built above ground in tower-like structures called chullpas, are the vestiges of the Colla people, Aymara who were conquered by the Inca in the 15th century. The structures housed the remains of complete family groups, although they were probably limited to nobility. Many of the tombs have been dynamited by grave robbers, while others were left unfinished.

The impressive chullpas of Sillustani are pre-incan, although from the looks of some of the stonework I have a feeling the Inca had a hand in refurbishing some of them. Chullpas are above-ground tombs that housed entire families. Most experts agree that these towers probably were reserved for royalty.

Burial towers created by pre-Inca Callo people who buried their noble families in baskets in these towers. The bodies were naturally mummified in the cool dry climate of the Altiplano. The site is located on a flat-topped peninsula several hundred metres above Lago Umayo
Esta chullpa funeraria de la época incaica hace tiempo que fue saqueada y el vestigo de ello es haber dejado un amplio hueco en su base que nos deja ver las montañas y parte del Altiplano a la altura del Tholar.
