A place to discover
Puno brings together Pre-Inca, Inca and colonial cultural remains with natural attractions, including the highest navigable lake in the world.
Plan a trip hereLake Titicaca, at 3,810 meters above sea level, is the world’s highest navigable lake. Its protected waters shelter endemic birds such as the Titicaca grebe, the Titicaca water frog, and aquatic plants including totora and llacho. It is an exceptional destination for nature and birdwatching.
According to legend, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, founders of the Inca Empire, emerged from Lake Titicaca. Taquile Island is known for weavings that express local experiences and traditions. On Amantani, visitors can stay with Aymara families whose lives are rooted in agriculture. The Uros people build and maintain floating islands and boats from totora reeds, which they also use for medicinal purposes. Visit Sillustani’s stone funerary towers, used by the Inca, Colla and Tiahuanaco cultures.
A local favorite is fried trout served with rice and boiled or French fries.
