Tip from tour guide
After visiting Puno, drive down to the impressive Lake Titicaca about 3,811 m (12,503.28 km) away. It's on the way from the Colca Valley, which is 3,650 m (11,975.07 km) away, or Arequipa 2,350 m (7,709.97 km) away. After passing the limits of Arequipa/Puno, you'll see beautiful landscapes that prove how beautiful Peru is.
Tip from tour guide
Puno is also home to El Umayo, a lake located in the Peruvian district of Atuncolla. The closed lake is located 34 kilometers (21.13 miles) from Puno, and the water that enters rivers and streams here leaves exclusively by evaporation. The lake is also surrounded by natural rock formations, and on its shores lies the pre-Inca cemetery of Sillustani.

Clean and colorful accommodations
Puno isn’t an upscale destination by any means, as Peru is a developing country. Therefore, most of the accommodations are very affordable and quite modest. They’re clean, colorful, homely, and sunny while also offering guests an authentic representation of Puno’s cultural and family life.
