Puno sits on the shores of Lake Titicaca at 3,800 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest cities in the world. The lake itself is legendary -- the Incas believed it to be the birthplace of the sun, and its deep blue waters stretching to the horizon create a landscape unlike anywhere else on Earth. The Uros people still live on floating islands made entirely of totora reeds, maintaining traditions that predate the Inca Empire.
Beyond the lake, the Puno region offers rich cultural experiences and surprising adventure opportunities. Visit the mysterious Sillustani funeral towers, explore traditional island communities on Taquile and Amantani, or kayak across the highest navigable lake in the world. Puno also serves as an excellent base for multi-day journeys connecting to the Colca Canyon and Arequipa, as well as volcano climbing expeditions on Misti and Chachani.
All our Puno tours are private and fully customizable. Whether you want a quick half-day visit to the Uros islands or an extended journey through the entire southern Peru circuit, we will craft an itinerary that fits your travel plans perfectly.
