What to do and see in Puno, Puno Region: The Best Sights & Landmarks

May 17, 2022 Jasper Kershner

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.

These fascinating ruins consist of huge, cylinder-shaped towers in which pre-Inca tribes buried the elite members of their community.

Probably 1.5 hours needed at a slow pace, we got a taxi from Puno for 100 soles, since we did the tour after the boat day trip and it’s well worth it, had almost the place to ourselves.

Puno Cathedral is in the main square of Puno and consists of two nice towers. It was built in eighteenth century and after that various things added. The front of the interior of the Cathedral is made of silver and looks very beautiful. The side walls are full with various paintings.

Condor Hill (Mirador de Kuntur Wasi)

Reviewed By Julionator - Vancouver, Canada

The hike up the stairs (roughly 600) would be easy if it was on a low elevation town. However at >3800 ASL, it is a bit of a challenge. Just be sure to have a day of rest when you get to Puno or take it really slow on the way up. The reward once you reach the top will be worth the effort. Alternatively, I do believe that there are taxis that will drive you all the way up.
