Puno Vacation Guide

I recommended u to visit this sites :

- Lake Titicaca (so beautiful).
- The islands of Uros (floating islands, made out of reeds and lived on by people).
- Taquille - island (An island in the middle of the lake covered in terraces used for farming potates. There are ancient ruins as well. Great place to spend the night and catch a sunset. While the first language here is Quechua almost everyone speaks spanish as well.)
- Amantaní - island (Same as Taquille but a little bigger and less touristed. It is very easy to visit these islands without a guide/travel agency...and more money goes to the islanders just go to the dock with your stuff and catch a boat...the capitans take care of everything for you)
- Sillustani - Ruins (Beautiful ´Funery Towers´ (ancient gravesites) largest is 12m tall. You see a different side of the lake and the afternoon sun is amazing.)
- Condor Hill - Vista Point (A bunch of stairs southwest of plaza de armas leads up to a giant condor statue (that you can go up) and an amazing view! Taxis can take you there as well but it is good excercise (and acclimitazation) to do it yourself...the statue is at 4017 meters! Fun and Free!)
-Coca Museum - (For such a small place it packs a ton of info! Section on Coca and section on native dances and costumes. The proprietor is very nice and informative (and speaks great english). Very Worth While! Admission 5 soles, about $1.50)
