Sillustani
is a pre-Incan burial ground on the shores of Lake Umayo near Puno in
Peru. The tombs, which are built above ground in tower-like
structures called chullpas, are the vestiges of the Colla people,
Aymara who were conquered by the Inca in the 15th century. The
structures housed the remains of complete family groups, although
they were probably limited to nobility.
