Day in Puno

Arrived in Puno, a pretty big change in altitude 3827m (12560ft) and temperature. At our airbnb we first started off with getting some laundry done. Then we went into the city to Explore a little bit. The main square and the cathedral were main things to see. Afterwards we went for lunch and had some alpaca steak and roasted guinea pig (but we were so hungry we forgot to take a pictures).

Later in the afternoon we went to a viewpoint, at this altitude those stairs were no joke, to watch the sunset. We also visited a very interesting museum about Coca and its history from traditional use of chewing leaves or making tea to the cocaine and coca-cola we all know and love today.

The coca museum also had a traditional garb exhibit where we were invited to try on some local costumesRead more
