On the outskirts of Puno you will find mysterious pre-Inca ruins called Chullpas (funeral towers). They sit on the windswept altiplano on a peninsula in Lake Umayo at Sillustani. The Colla people, a warrior tribe that spoke Aymara, buried their elite in giant cylindrical tombs, some as tall as 12 meters high (40 ft.). The stonemasonry is exquisite (many archaeologists and historians find them more complex and superior even to Inca engineering) and the structures form quite an impression on such a harsh landscape.

Take the Catamaran Cruise to the isolated Challapampa Village of Isla del Sol while enjoying lunch on board.

You may visit their museum, chapel, school, a typical house, sail in their vessels to an Inca holy temple and walk on Inca trails. In the evening you will have a romantic candle-lit dinner and spend the night on board the Catamaran in cabins with lake views and private facilities.
In the morning, you will sail across the lake while enjoying breakfast and the breathtaking panorama. Land transfer to La Paz or back to Puno before noon.
