Tourist Guide Puno
Reputed as ‘Capital folklórica del Perú’, or the folkloric capital of Peru, owing to the wealth of its artistic and cultural expressions, Puno is the capital city of Puno Province in Peru.
Located at the edge of Lake Titicaca, it has a population of about 100,168 people. According to Inca tradition, Manco Capac, the first Inca, rose from Lake Titicaca; hence, Puno was considerably significant in Inca Empire.
Typical of high plateaus, Puno’s climate is cold and semi-dry. The city has a minimal temperature range from cool to cold. Rainfall occurs during the months of November through March.
Attracted by Puno’s mineral richness, the Spaniards established the city of San Carlos de Puno in 1668. Over the years, Puno has grown into an important agricultural and livestock region.
