Erin & Regan's South American Adventure
Puno and Chulpas
Hola,
From Arequipa we took a bus to Puno, on the shores of the lake Titicaca (which isn´t a Spanish name, it´s actually Quechua. Titi meaning puma and caca for lake... we think).
From Puno we took a bus and then a colectivo (cab) to Sillustani to see some pre-incan ruins, believed to be funeral towers. It was just our luck that shortly after we arrived it started to rain and blow a gale. Ah well, we have some nice photos anyway.
The biggest and most impressive tower.
It´s insides.
Other towers.
This is how they were constructed - using ramps of stones which were later removed. They´re not sure why they didn´t finish all the towers.
