PUNO TRAVEL TOURS
With a dry, chilly climate – temperatures frequently fall below freezing in the winter nights of July and August – PUNO is just a crossroads to most travellers, en route between Cusco and Bolivia or Chile. In some ways this is fair, for it's a breathless place with a burning daytime sun in stark contrast to icy evenings. Yet the town is immensely rich in tradition and has a fascinating pre-Colum- bian history. The Pukara culture emerged here some 3000 years ago leaving behind stone pyramids and carved standing stones, contemporaneous with those of Chavín 1600km further north but still high up in the Andes. The better- known Tiahuanuco culture dominated the Titicaca basin between 800 and 1200 AD, leaving in its wake the temple complex of the same name plus wide- spread cultural and religious influence. It was conquered by the Incas in the fifteenth century and when the Spanish arrived little more than one hundred years later they were soon to discover its wealth – both in terms of tribute-based agriculture and mineral exploitation based on a unique form of slave labour. Even today, Puno's port is a vital staging point for exploring the northern end of Lake Titicaca, with its floating islands and beautiful island communities just a few hours away by boat.
☼ Puno and Lake Titicaca Today
While Puno has a rich and interesting histo- ry, the city today is a relatively non-descript municipality of approximately 90,000 people. The city's major drawing card is its proximity to the shores of Lake Titicaca. Puno's tourism industry is well developed and can accommodate the needs of all types of travelers. The problem is, that aside from the lake, the city has little to offer. At 3,800 meters, Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable body of water in the world and is home to the famous Uros Floating Islands. Indian communities sometimes as small as just a couple of dozen people building floating islands out of totora reeds. Contemporary Puno and Lake Titicaca have maintained their signifi cance to Peru's indigenous populations. Those living around
