    When I saw this beautiful building I thought it might be a museum or official building, but it happened to be a school, as I saw the boys going out after classes. They were all wearing some kinf od uniform that reminded me a military place, but maybe it was just the ordinary uniform for shool boys...

    In every little street in Puno you could discover charming houses, patios, gates, balconies... you just had to be aware and look around, enter the private houses, sneak around... I love that!

    • There are street food vendors in the tiny streets that surround bustling Lima Street in the heart of Puno, and if you're unafraid and up for adventure, I recommend that you try food sold in this set-up. I actually did and it was a wonderful treat that I enjoyed very much! The only people buying from these vendors were the locals and laborer types. It gave me much pleasure to eat in this set-up as this sure is the most authentic you can ever get.

    Outskirts of Puno are the ruins at Sillustani. This plade is filled with mysterious cylindrical tombs all with an opening that faces the sun. Some of these tombs are massive. These ruins pre-date the Incas in this region.

    a bit up from Puno in direction to Cusco/Arequipa you can find the very old archaeological site of Pukara in very nice landscape
