Puno is small town
of just over 100.000 people on the shores of Lake Titica. It is
a good place to break the journey from Arequipa to la Paz, the journey
from Arequipa to Cuzco or the journey from Cuzco to La Paz.. It´s
main attraction is Lake Titicaca. Here are the Uros reed islands,
and the islands of Taquile and Amantani.
About 30 km away
from Puno is the pre-Inca graveyard of Sillustani with impressive
funeral towers known as Chullpas. The best time to visit is in the
afternoon but if time is a problem they can also be visited on the
way to/from the airport. Puno doesn´t have an airport. The
nearest airport is Juliaca about an hour away from Puno.
" Lake Titicaca Located
in the department of Puno, with a surface area of 36 180 hectares,
the national reserve in practically its entirety covers the world's
highest navigable lake.
The Titicaca Reserve is split into two separate sectors: the first,
which lies in the Bay of Puno itself, protects the totora reed clumps
which provide sustenance to the Uros-Chulluni communities; the second,
which is located in the Huancané area, features less-visited
totora marshes, but which are equally rich in species and just as
interesting. In the area there are 60 bird species, including the
Titicaca grebe, 14 native fish species and 18 types of amphibians,
including the giant Titicaca toad."
