Puno is the main city in Titicaca lake area.
We come from La Paz.
Puno is a city that at first glance is extremely messy and has the air of a large slum, although La Paz is much worse.
As I wasn’t used to it, it was a little difficult to adapt to the style, but as the days went by, it became easier to understand and accept where we are.
In Puno, the main attraction is visiting the floating islands (Uros and Taquile) in Lake Titicaca.
The main island and the Uros islands are about 30 minutes away by boat.
Urus is actually a set of small islets made of totara (reed).
The totara is a plant that grows in the waters of Titicaca and is used to build floating islands, houses, boats, etc., in addition to being edible.
Now it’s time to get ready for the main part of this trip which is the trip to Machu Picchu.
The next day we got to know the city and at night we took a bus to Cusco.
The trip was smooth, lasting 7 hours, leaving at 10:00 pm and arriving in Cusco around 5:00 am, which cost US $20.00.

Today, these are the most complete tools on the market
Book your accommodation.
With that in mind, it’s time to choose your accommodation.
The best tool is Booking.com.
For those who are going to use hostels, the best tool is Hostelworld.
I have used both very often and always find the best prices.
Get your insurance
Insurance is something we never want to use, but it is traumatic if we need it and don’t have it.
It will cover the costs of any eventuality of illness, injury, theft and/or cancellations of tickets, hotels, etc.
I have used WorldNomads or Assistcard, which always have the insurance with the coverage that travelers need, in addition to having coverage worldwide.
