Late afternoon around 3-4 PM gives you golden light for photos and smaller crowds. Stay until sunset when the chullpas glow orange against the deep blue lake.

Entry costs 8 soles (about $2 USD) for adults. Carry small bills as the ticket booth rarely has change. The site is too remote for any city passes to apply here.

Greiti faktai: Perched on a peninsula jutting into Lake Umayo, this pre-Inca burial complex contains funerary towers called chullpas that rise up to 12 meters tall. The Colla people constructed these towers between the 12th and 15th centuries, placing their mummified elite inside facing east toward the rising sun.
Akcentai: Unlike the Incas who later conquered them, the Colla people built their chullpas with stones interlocked so precisely that you can't slide a piece of paper between them, yet they used no mortar whatsoever. Stand inside one of the tallest towers at sunset and the wind whips through the narrow entrance creating a low hum, exactly as the builders intended for their conversations with the dead.
