Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best time of year to visit Don Tito Inn II for optimal Sillustani exploration?

We found the dry season, from April to October, to be absolutely superb for exploring the high-altitude landscapes around Sillustani. The skies are generally clear, offering incredible views of the lagoons and the ancient burial towers, and the daytime temperatures are pleasant, though we always recommend packing layers for the cool evenings.

Beyond the famous ruins, what unique experiences does Don Tito Inn II offer its guests?

While the Sillustani necropolis is the main draw, we love that Don Tito Inn II offers a genuine glimpse into local life. They can arrange visits to nearby communities, and we highly recommend trying their home cooked meals – the fresh trout, sourced locally, is a revelation and far superior to anything you'll find elsewhere.

What should we pack for a stay at Don Tito Inn II, considering its high altitude and remote location?

Given the elevation, we advise packing warm clothing, including a good fleece or down jacket, hat, and gloves, even in the warmer months, as temperatures drop significantly after sunset. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the ruins, and we also found a small backpack for day trips and a reusable water bottle to be very practical.

Is Don Tito Inn II a safe choice for solo travelers or families visiting the Sillustani area?

We felt completely at ease during our stay at Don Tito Inn II. The family who runs the guesthouse are incredibly warm and attentive, creating a secure and welcoming atmosphere for everyone. They are always on hand to offer advice or assistance, making it a worry free experience for solo travelers and families alike.

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see near Don Tito Inn II and Sillustani?

While Sillustani is primarily known for its historical significance, we were delighted by the birdlife. Keep an eye out for Andean gulls, various waterfowl on the lagoons, and if you're lucky, perhaps a soaring Andean condor. It's not a big game destination, but the natural beauty and avian activity are a wonderful complement to the archaeological wonders.
