Puno and the Titicaca Lake

From Arequipa we then moved to the Titicaca Lake by Bus (again Cruz del Sur). We stayed in Puno, the gateway to Lake Titicaca and the Folkloric Capital of Peru.

As soon as I arrived in Puno I started to suffer from the height, but after some Coca-tea and a small dish together with other Italian guys we knew during the travel, I immediately recover (my wife, despite the pregnancy, didn’t suffer any kind of sickness!!). The next morning we visited the Uros reed-islands and met some of those unique Indians.

a Funerary Tower in Sillustani

In the afternoon we took a tour to The Chulpas of Sillustani, an impressive archaeological site with Incas tombs called "chulpas". Here the landscape you can admire, especially at sunset, is something that is still vivid in our hearts.
