Chullpas Tombs locally known as chullpas dominate ridges and high places seen by the ancient people as people as being closer to the sky and their hilltop gods. Some chullpas were built of mud-sods or adobe , others were of stone. Some were elaborate and other simple. Bodies of the deceased were placed inside, usually knees to chin in beautifully made baskets.
