Puno is situated at the
shore of Lake Titicaca and has around 130000 inhabitants. Its
3800m above sea level, so many newcomers have some problems
during the start of the stay, but usually you will feel ok after
a day or two, just take it easy and don't rush around. Not so
very much to see around, but in the central part of the town you
can still find some older buildings and institutions. Some years
ago you could sail by steamships across the lake, but the new and
modern roads took all transport and boats had to close down. You
can still visit one of the steamers, today a museum.
I have got
some new pictures too from the visit in 2013 and placed them in
its own folder. Welcome for a visit and hope you will enjoy both
of them.
