The visit to the Chullpas de Sillustani was very interesting and the place is really worth it. However, the logistics of transport could be improved: apparently they did not calculate the number of passengers correctly and, despite having booked in advance, I had to travel separately from my partner. They also told us that they would pick us up at the hotel, but in the end we had to walk to the cathedral, and there were no seats left together. I would recommend confirming the exact pick-up point in advance and ensuring better seating arrangements to avoid these drawbacks. Still, the destination is beautiful and the experience on site was good.
Estimado Luis, Muchas gracias por compartir su comentario y por brindarnos esta valiosa oportunidad de mejora. Nos alegra saber que la visita a las Chullpas de Sillustani le pareció interesante y que pudo disfrutar del destino, ya que sin duda es uno de los lugares más especiales de nuestra región. Al mismo tiempo, lamentamos sinceramente los inconvenientes que experimentó en relación con el traslado y la disposición de los asientos. Queremos comentar, con total transparencia, que su reserva se realizó en plena festividad de la Virgen de la Candelaria, una de las celebraciones más importantes del Perú y Puno. Durante esos días, la afluencia de visitantes suele superar ampliamente la capacidad operativa habitual (hoteles, transporte y tours), no solo de nuestra empresa, sino de muchas agencias de viaje en la ciudad. Si bien ello explica parte de lo ocurrido, reconocemos que debimos manejar mejor la organización para evitar que usted y su pareja viajaran separados. Asimismo, como seguramente pudo observar, durante esos días muchas calles del centro de la ciudad permanecen cerradas debido al desarrollo de las danzas y actividades festivas. Por esta razón, de manera excepcional, no siempre es posible realizar el recojo directamente en cada hotel como sí sucede con normalidad el resto del año. En esos casos, el punto de encuentro que manejamos es la Plaza Mayor, específicamente detrás de la Catedral, ya que toda la zona se vuelve peatonal. Sin embargo, tomamos muy en cuenta su observación, porque entendemos que esta información debe comunicarse con mayor claridad y anticipación. Agradecemos sinceramente su recomendación, ya que nos ayuda a reforzar dos aspectos importantes de nuestra operación: confirmar con mayor precisión el punto exacto de recojo y mejorar la organización de los asientos, especialmente en fechas de alta demanda. Le ofrecemos nuestras disculpas por las molestias ocasionadas y le agradecemos nuevamente su comprensión, así como la oportunidad de seguir mejorando nuestros servicios. Saludos cordiales, Ronald Ticona Gerente de experiencias - Titicaca Tours
Lovely little trip. It was really interesting to see and very close to Puno. Loved the scenery. Not very packed either so for those wanting something more chilled, this is a good one!

Tour was a good value. Our guide was good and the sites were great. The only negatives with the tour was the following: 1. No AC on the bus so it was boiling the first half of the tour. 2. The microphone on the bus was bad we missed most of what the tour guide said. 3. Large group of 27 so the bus was packed even though the tour is advertised as 19 max capacity. My recommendation to all English attendees on this tour would be to go with a different tour operator because the sites are great but the tour operation could use improvement.
Dear Traveler, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Sillustani site and that our guide contributed positively to your visit. At the same time, we sincerely regret the operational issues you encountered — particularly the lack of air conditioning, audio difficulties, and group size exceeding expectations. Please know that your feedback is taken very seriously. We are currently reviewing these concerns with our logistics team to ensure our vehicle equipment and group policies better align with what we advertise and promise. We truly appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve. Should you choose to give Titicaca Tours another opportunity in the future, we’d love the chance to provide you with a smoother and more comfortable experience. Warm regards,
We enjoyed the tour very much and guide was very good. They were 30 minutes late picking us up though.
Dear Brian, Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour to Sillustani and that our guide made a positive impression.

Thank you for choosing Puno Tours, and we hope to welcome you again for an even smoother and more memorable experience. Warm regards,
Visiting Sillustani, we were able to tour the chullpas, discovering the history and culture of ancient Andean civilizations, and admire the stunning surrounding landscape. The Sillustani chullpas offer spectacular views of the Andean highlands and Lake Umayo, creating a mystical and tranquil atmosphere that enhances the spiritual importance of the place.
