One of the largest and most complex of tombs preserved pre-Inca South America, the Colla culture, on the shores of Lake Umayo near Puno. These fascinating ruins consist of huge, cylinder-shaped towers in which pre-Inca tribes buried the elite members of Their community.
A mystic and fascinating place of exceptional beauty. The feeling of peace without equal. The landscape of great luminosity, the scenic view and so much peace and almost complete silence.
We are on sacred ground, for many generations and cultures, was used as a ceremonial and religious center. And the lagoon Umayo, where offerings were made, along with its calm waters and silvery, reminds everyone that this was holy ground, and meditation. 
Peru as a passion.
These are pictures from my summer vacation in 2009.
