Things to do in Puno, Puno Region: The Best Walking Tours
Llamas, sheep and alpacas roam the plains of Puno, a port city in southeastern Peru. Their fleeces are used to make the area’s signature textiles, which make excellent souvenirs. You’ll do a lot of walking here, as many of the streets are too steep for cars. But the climbs are worth it for the excellent views of Lake Titicaca. Take a boat to the Floating Islands or get up close and personal with the four-legged locals at a llama farm.

I'm not sure if there were better things to see, but the ride around the city was fun. Seemed like we hit the hot spots, other than the Plaza de Armas. Not extremely impressed, but it was a good way to drive around and see the city. The stops were pretty good.

I have to say that when you are traveling abroad you get excited and at the same time some anxiety builds up for the unknown. But I have to say that Roger @gomachupicchu and his team made this experience an unforgettable one for myself & family. We were waited at the airport by Sergio ( driver ) and our tour guide Angel. Met up with Roger & his wife at the hotel, made any anxiety go away right away. And the tour started right there and there! Gave us the run down on how to prepare for the high altitude, had restaurants picked out and suggestion on foods, all tour stops well prepared and in constant communication. Knew places and times where we were at all times throughout our whole trip to make the trip the most of it! Why go somewhere else when you have someone like Roger and GoMachuPicchu! I highly recommend them Gomachupicchu!!!

It is possible to trek into the site, but for most people the train is the option. The trip is about an hour and one half and is wonderful. There is so much to see on the trip that you would like the train tp go slower! For most of the ride, the river will be in clear view, but the mountain views are really spectacular.

From start to end Planet Odysseys staff took great care and were very helpful. They were prompt to respond to my messages. I travelled by bus from Cuzco to Puno and they made sure that their representative met me at the bus terminal and assisted me with the transfer to the pier. The lady who picked me up from the terminal was very kind. She explained the details of the tour and complied with all security protocols of COVID-19. The tour in itself was a fantastic experience. The guide gave us many insights into the life and culture of the people on these islands. It was by far the best experience I have had and will surely consider them if I am back in Peru. Thanks Planet Odysseys.

The pickup was on time to take us to the docks on Lake Titicaca. The first stop was on the man-made floating Uros Islands. The locals, who make their money by selling their handmade crafts, were quite friendly and receptive. The singing and dancing felt exploitative, and there wasn't much to view on the islands as it appeared to be impoverished. The next stop was Taquile Island. The path to the main area is tough for those who are not in good cardiovascular shape. The altitude makes it hard to breathe, so we took our time walking up the path. We had the same experience with the locals on this island as we did on the Uros Islands. There were lunch and a local show, and this also felt exploitative. Once we finished lunch, we headed back down to depart back to the mainland. The Viajes Pacifico tour guides were very professional and knowledgeable about Lake Titicaca. This was the second tour we had with the company. In both cases, the service was great. I highly recommend them for your Peruvian tours.

I loved my Machu Pichu travel and especially the tour agents who helped with my transport between places.I particularly liked their help with transport. My trip was a 3 day from usa and never did I miss any planned attraction. The hotel accommodation at machu pichu could have been better for the price value but I felt transport/tour agents justified it.

After the travel quarantine went into effect, tour options in Puno disappeared. Thanks to Maria at Pacha Expeditions, I was able to enjoy a private, custom tour to La Isla de Uros. With a private boat taxi, we toured the Rio Wily and stopped at various islands learning about the native Aymara culture that exists on these islands. Maria and boat driver, Joel, both provided excellent guide services and a wealth of information on the local people. I would highly recommend the services of Maria and Pacha Expeditions for anyone interested in exploring Aymara culture in the Puno and the local Altiplano area.????

Where do I start? I’m a solo traveler who booked a ticket to Peru 4 days before the flight and I’ve never been to South America and nor can I speak Spanish which made me anxious. Peru Hop was the first company I contacted via email and they have been super helpful!! From all the communication, the arrangements, Peru hop made it so so easy!! It’s not like the hop on hop off buses in Europe, this is a tour full of experiences and I’m always skeptical for paying to travel around but this is well worth it. More importantly the guides were great in particular Ricardo!! This guy made me feel so welcomed, talked to me like we’ve know each other for ages. He answered all my questions, made enquirer for me, and looked after me. Alex have such good insight to the national reserve. I met wonderful people and had the best time of my life. I’m booking Peru Hop again for Cusco to lake titicaca. I don’t usually write reviews but I had to share how good they were.
