Pictures: Puno (Lake Titicaca)

Hey again!

Puno pictures! From our first night in Puno, and our 10-hour tour of the floating islands, and the island of Taquile (like tequila, but not, lol)

The city of Puno

My delicious Alpaca kebab with passionfruit sauce- SO good!

Peruvian musicians and dancers- they put on a great show!

Coca mousse dessert- couldn't sleep after eating it, how ironic!


Me in a SWEET lambswool hat- so soft, and only about 25 bucks!

Puno's floating islands- made by putting Totora reeds on floating mud- incredible!

Totora reed boat

People selling their wares on an island

Fish lookout point- I think it may also have been called "Fish Island"?

The island from the lookout

Approaching the island of Taquile (2 hours from the floating islands by boat)

Isn't it beautiful?

Hiking up to the summit

Taquileans celebrating in the city center

Me at the summit- in another sweet alpaca hat (I actually bought this one lol)

More from Cuzco!
Love,
Rach
