Departamento de Puno

Puno Essentials

Puno serves as the gateway to Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake. This collection highlights the city's 18th-century Andean Baroque architecture, including the central Cathedral and Plaza Mayor. It features unique archaeological sites like the Inca Uyo fertility temple and the mystical Aramu Muru stone carving. Visitors can access the Sillustani funerary towers, view the city from the Kuntur Wasi lookout, or explore the Titicaca National Reserve. The list also includes the SS Coya, a historic 19th-century steamship resting on the lake's shores.
