Half-day trip from Puno
Great tour! It was well organized, from the pickup at my hotel to the stops along the way. Ricardo was not only an informative guide but also very considerate and friendly. Sillustani was amazing as was the view of the lagoon.

Scared witless in a taxi, turned out OK.
My "guide" was 25 minutes late collecting me. We walked round the block and I was ushered into a random taxi, no seat belts. Three minutes later, swapped into another taxi, no seat belts. The taxi driver drove like Mad Max in an apocalyptic race out of town, 110kph in a 40kph, no seatbelts. After 35 minutes I was "swapped" out to join another tour in the middle of nowhere who had been looking at Alpacas and Guinea Pigs - great. On the bus with a new "guide" we arrived at Sillustani. The new guide was excellent, the tour was worth going on but the travel company need a serious look at their logistics and customer safety.

Nice Trip
Was a quick short half day trip. It was a good tour of the funeral tombs, there weren´t many people there so it was easy to walk around and click some nice photos. The guide explained many facts in details.

Sillustani Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puno.
How much does Sillustani Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $26 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 Sillustani Tours take?
+
Plan for about 3.8 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 Sillustani Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Puno, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sillustani Tours?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Sillustani Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sillustani Tours?
+
Around 4 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 3.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sillustani Tours 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 languages is Sillustani Tours offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Sillustani Tours?
+
