    Opinion

    The visit to the Chullpas de Sillustani was very interesting and the place is really worth it. However, the logistics of transport could be improved: apparently they did not calculate the number of passengers correctly and, despite having booked in advance, I had to travel separately from my partner. They also told us that they would pick us up at the hotel, but in the end we had to walk to the cathedral, and there were no seats left together. I would recommend confirming the exact pick-up point in advance and ensuring better seating arrangements to avoid these drawbacks. Still, the destination is beautiful and the experience on site was good.

    Response from the operator: Estimado Luis, Muchas gracias por compartir su comentario y por brindarnos esta valiosa oportunidad de mejora. Nos alegra saber que la visita a las Chullpas de Sillustani le pareció interesante y que pudo disfrutar del destino, ya que sin duda es uno de los lugares más especiales de nuestra región. Al mismo tiempo, lamentamos sinceramente los inconvenientes que experimentó en relación con el traslado y la disposición de los asientos. Queremos comentar, con total transparencia, que su reserva se realizó en plena festividad de la Virgen de la Candelaria, una de las celebraciones más importantes del Perú y Puno. Durante esos días, la afluencia de visitantes suele superar ampliamente la capacidad operativa habitual (hoteles, transporte y tours), no solo de nuestra empresa, sino de muchas agencias de viaje en la ciudad. Si bien ello explica parte de lo ocurrido, reconocemos que debimos manejar mejor la organización para evitar que usted y su pareja viajaran separados. Asimismo, como seguramente pudo observar, durante esos días muchas calles del centro de la ciudad permanecen cerradas debido al desarrollo de las danzas y actividades festivas. Por esta razón, de manera excepcional, no siempre es posible realizar el recojo directamente en cada hotel como sí sucede con normalidad el resto del año. En esos casos, el punto de encuentro que manejamos es la Plaza Mayor, específicamente detrás de la Catedral, ya que toda la zona se vuelve peatonal. Sin embargo, tomamos muy en cuenta su observación, porque entendemos que esta información debe comunicarse con mayor claridad y anticipación. Agradecemos sinceramente su recomendación, ya que nos ayuda a reforzar dos aspectos importantes de nuestra operación: confirmar con mayor precisión el punto exacto de recojo y mejorar la organización de los asientos, especialmente en fechas de alta demanda. Le ofrecemos nuestras disculpas por las molestias ocasionadas y le agradecemos nuevamente su comprensión, así como la oportunidad de seguir mejorando nuestros servicios. Saludos cordiales, Ronald Ticona Gerente de experiencias - Titicaca Tours

    Half day really worth booking

    I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The guide demonstrated a deep understanding of the subject matter and presented it in a very engaging manner. Additionally, the landscapes were breathtaking and added significantly to the overall experience.

    Go with a different tour operator

    Tour was a good value. Our guide was good and the sites were great. The only negatives with the tour was the following: 1. No AC on the bus so it was boiling the first half of the tour. 2. The microphone on the bus was bad we missed most of what the tour guide said. 3. Large group of 27 so the bus was packed even though the tour is advertised as 19 max capacity. My recommendation to all English attendees on this tour would be to go with a different tour operator because the sites are great but the tour operation could use improvement.

    Response from the operator: Dear Traveler, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the Sillustani site and that our guide contributed positively to your visit. At the same time, we sincerely regret the operational issues you encountered — particularly the lack of air conditioning, audio difficulties, and group size exceeding expectations. Please know that your feedback is taken very seriously. We are currently reviewing these concerns with our logistics team to ensure our vehicle equipment and group policies better align with what we advertise and promise. We truly appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve. Should you choose to give Titicaca Tours another opportunity in the future, we’d love the chance to provide you with a smoother and more comfortable experience. Warm regards,

    Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.

    How much does Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno cost?

    +

    Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puno usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puno is not rushed.

    Is Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 21 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno?

    +

    Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puno can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puno and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puno within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puno?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puno experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Uros and Taquile Islands in a Fast Boat, Uros and Taquile Speedboat Day Tour in Small Group, Uros and Taquile Islands on New and Comfortable SpeedBoat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puno?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puno?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno?

    +

    Included: Transport Hotel - Sillustani - Hotel; Bilingual Professional Guide (Spanish/English); and Entrance fee. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno offered in?

    Is Half Day Excursion to Chullpas de Sillustani from Puno wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
