We had a free day in Puno, after visiting Lake Titicaca and decided to visit the Sillustani Towers as our guide spoke highly about its prominence. It was a very unique trip, expect to walk a bit and carry water bottle. The tour was very nice, Saul was our guide, who spoke perfect English and shared many intresting things about the site, bringing the history to life. I would highly recommend taking this half day tour to see more than Titicaca.

We are delighted to hear that you decided to visit Sillustani during your stay in Puno and that it became a memorable part of your journey. While Lake Titicaca is undoubtedly the region's most famous attraction, Sillustani offers a fascinating glimpse into the ancient history of the Andes and is truly a unique place to explore. We are especially pleased that Saul helped bring the site to life through his explanations and storytelling. Sharing the history and significance of Sillustani with travelers is something our guides are passionate about, and we are glad his knowledge and enthusiasm enhanced your visit. Thank you as well for mentioning the walking involved. The beautiful views of the archaeological site and Umayo Lagoon are certainly worth the effort, and we appreciate your practical advice for future travelers. Thank you once again for choosing Discover Lake Titicaca and for recommending the tour. We hope you left Puno with wonderful memories and a deeper appreciation of the region's rich cultural heritage.
