Puno

would not recommend it on rainy season but very tipical sceneries of natives. nice market

I, like most people, didn’t stay long in Puno itself because I was advised that the only reason to go there was lake titicaca, that the town didn’t have much to offer. And I must say from my experience I agreed with this.

Years later my parents went to Puno during a folk music festival and it was one of the highlights of their trip.

I guess I shouldn’t have given it more of a chance.

I was there when I was 15. Long time ago. Saw the Uro Indians, they live on islands man made, made with totora grass, on lake Titicaca. They even had a church, school and houses on top of those islands. Interesting! I would like to go back in February to witness the Virgen de la Candelaria party. Amazing from what I hear. People come from all over the dance for the Virgen.

If you want to see Lake Titicaca, or the crazy fertility shrine.

Lake Titicaca is the only reason for being here.
