About Puno

Puno is a captivating city perched on the shores of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. Known as the folkloric capital of Peru, Puno offers a unique blend of indigenous culture, breathtaking natural beauty, and rich history. The city serves as the gateway to exploring the lake’s mystical floating islands made of totora reeds, inhabited by the Uros people. Visitors are drawn to Puno for its vibrant festivals, traditional music, and colorful textiles that reflect the deep-rooted Andean heritage. The surrounding landscape of high-altitude plains and snow-capped mountains creates a dramatic backdrop for adventure and cultural immersion. Puno’s charm lies in its authenticity and the opportunity to experience life in the Andes, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking both natural wonders and cultural richness.

Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season, May to October. Pack warm clothing due to cold nights and high altitude. Stay hydrated and take it easy on arrival to prevent altitude sickness. Respect local customs and ask permission before photographing people. Use cash in local currency for small purchases, and carry some Peruvian soles as card acceptance can be limited. Safety is generally good, but keep an eye on belongings in crowded areas.
