Puno and Lake Titicaca
Puno and Lake Titicaca
High in the windswept Andes, frosty Lake Titicaca is one of Peru’s most fascinating destinations. It is the highest navigable lake in the world and the source of many legends, such as the Incas’ own creation myth. The lake still shelters ancient cultures today, like the Uros communities who inhabit floating islands made of reeds; and the Quechua people who live on Taquile Island and who still keep their traditions alive. Titicaca offers a unique experience, a fascinating blend of nature and living cultures. The city of Puno is located on the shores of Lake Titicaca, Puno is a festive city with many colourful village celebrations.
