Kutimpu, Archaeological site in Puno Region, Peru.
The Kutimpu archaeological complex contains stone burial towers called chullpas, positioned across the high-altitude landscape of the Andes mountains.
The site dates back to the Colla Kingdom period and continued through Inca times, serving as a burial ground for regional nobles and priests.
The stone structures at Kutimpu demonstrate the sophisticated engineering methods of pre-Hispanic civilizations through their precise construction techniques.

The burial towers of Kutimpu, reaching heights of up to 12 meters, were constructed to align with the rising sun in the east.
