Puno (City)

From Wikitravel

Puno City is a city in the Peruvian Altiplano.

[edit] Understand

Puno is not exactly the jewel of Peru, bit it has its charms. The central square is reasonably pleasant. Calle Lima is a pedestrian walking street with most of the restaurants, bars and clubs. The main reason to visit Puno is to get out onto Lake Titicaca. Almost every hotel will offer some kind of packaged boating deal for the lake, and most of them are good. There is a lot of competition (and good business deals) between the hotels and the tour boats, so most of the prices stay fairly even. If you feel your hotel is making a reasonable offer, take it - a van will be able to pick you up right at the hotel door.
