Stop 3
El sitio arqueológico de Sillustani es un cementerio que se construyó en el siglo XII por una civilización que ocupo el área antes del dominio Inca. Los creadores de las imponentes torres funerarias se conocen pertenecían a la cultural Kolla. Las torres mas imponentes fueron construidas para los jefes y sacerdotes importantes. Para nuestras civilizaciones antiguas los cementerios eran lugares de descanso para sus muertos y por eso elegían estratégicamente hermosos lugares para construir sus cementerios y estos eran considerados lugares sagrados.
Al caminar alrededor de la península, podemos sentir la energía que emana del sitio. Muchas personas vienen a apreciar este paisaje único rodeado de montañas y la hermosa laguna Umayo, y no se van sin antes sentir como sus corazones se recargan de paz.
