The Chullpas of Sillustani are ancient tombs in Peru, built in stone in the shape of towers. Some of them reach 12 meters high. These cylindrical or square structures were created by the Kolla civilization for high status burials. Their unique design and location on the Umayo peninsula make them a fascinating historical and cultural site.
