Puno

Puno is one of the most important cities on the edge of Titicaca Lake, the most navigable and highest lake of the world. The city of Puno is considered the Folk Capital of America, because of its 300 variety of traditional dances. The “Caporales” and the “Diablada” are typical dances perfomed during festivities such as that of “Virgen de la Candelaria” the city’s patron. This festivity is held in February and gathers thousands of tourists and locals.

Puno is located on these cold high plains at 4000 m above sea level. The city also known as “The Land of Camelidae”, was the home of Tiahuanaco culture many thousands of years ago. This culture has some of the most beautiful legacies such as Puerta del Sol (The Sun gateway), a temple sculpted in stone.

Puno is one important touristic site near Titicaca Lake. Most of its buildings were made of adobe and roofs are covered with metal panels. The city center is small so if you like nightlife going to Jiron, Lima, is a must, you can find there different restaurants and places to go if you want to listen to great music. You can also find its Main Square there which was built in 1747 by Simeon de Asta.

Amantaní island is located at 36 kilometers from the port of the city of Puno. Hiking to the top of the island’s highest peak, Pachatata, is a must do activity to enjoy the breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding mountains. From these viewpoints you can see the prehispanic temples of Pacha Tata, de Pacha Mama, Incachincana, Inca Tihana and the cemetery of mummies.

Archaeological site of Sillustani, located at 34 kilometers of Puno is famous for its “chullpas”, round towers lifted to hold the remains of its main authorities of the people of Collao. At a short distance you can see its museum where you find different archaeological pieces of different cultures like Colla, Tiahuanaco and Inca.

The Uros are people group who live on “floating islands” that they have artificially made entirely of totora reeds, and they navigate in their traditional boats also made out of totora reeds. Taquile, Suasi, and Amantaní are known for the kindness of their residents, their ancestral skill in weaving, their pre-Columbian constructions, and lovely countryside. The Titicaca National Reserve (36,180 hectares) protects extensive stretches of totora reeds and various species of plants and animals.
