Puno

Food & Drink

• Mojsa Restaurant • Peruvian / Traditional space with authentic Peruvian food. We tried Guinea Pig for the first time (interesting taste, but not our preference).
• Restaurant Tulipans • Peruvian / Ground floor of restaurant is charming with a few tables by a stone fire. Quality Peruvian food including trout ceviche, alpaca, and hearty soups.
• Valeria • Peruvian / Formal looking restaurant from the outside, however, this place is well priced and has authentic and traditional comfort food.

• Positive Rock'n Reggae Bar • Bar / Solid dive bar (although limited options in Puno).
• Taquile (in GHL Hotel Lago) • Hotel bar / Cocktail bar in a 5-Star hotel on a private island. Call to see if they are open before going there.
• Pacha Mixology • Cocktail bar / Maybe the only spot in town for (good) cocktails.

• Selva Sur Café and our hotel (for coffee & coca tea)

Activities & Attractions

• Boat tour on Lake Titicaca • Small boat tour that lasts 2.5 hours. We boated to the islands of Uros, met the Uros people, and learned how their floating islands are built.
• Luxury trains (to & from) • Trains can range from multi-day trips on the Andean Explorer or day trips on PeruRail's Titicaca train.
• Sillustani tombs • A Pre-Inca cemetery on the shores of Lake Umayo. The tombs are built above ground in tower-like structures called chullpas.

  Casona Plaza Hotel Puno • One of the few 4-Star hotels in Puno, although it is quite casual in appearance. We got a great room price. Breakfast was included which was a great buffet and the dining space was traditional and clean. We worked from the quiet lobby/dining area most days and drank lots of Coca tea.

  Royal Inn Hotel Puno • Warmly decorated rooms in a casual 4-Star hotel with a cozy restaurant and bar.
