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 stonemasonry is exquisite and the structures form quite an impression on such a harsh landscape. Many archaeologists and historians find them more complex and superior even to Inca engineering.
