Lake Titicaca, Puno and Sillustrani

Puno. On the shores of Lake Titicaca.

From Cusco I caught the bus to Puno, a small town which sits at 3,800m at the edge of Lake Titicaca.

While I was there I visited the Sillustrani ruins, a set of Incan burial tombs. The tombs are up to 12m high and were built from large chunks of stone. The burial site also featured a shrine to the moon and sun gods, and each burial tomb featured a small opening to allow a shaft of light to reach the dead, which, it was believed would allow them to reincarnate.
The tombs are located on a hill with a beautiful view over a lake.
Definitely a tomb with a view! Excuse the pun :)
