Description
Lampa is a small remote village with an incredible church in the middle of the Peruvian altiplano near Puno. The church is one of the largest in the Andean altiplano thanks to the wealth from nearby silver mines in the early colonial period. It contains a large mausoleum with an amazing ossuary underneath it - the bones of hundreds of Spaniards were dug up from the public catacombs beneath the church and hung around the ossuary walls in a ghoulish fashion during a period of reconstruction!
