We will pick you up from the hotel
located in the city to start an interesting city tour in Puno.
Discover the fascinating history of
Peru by exploring the iconic Arco
Deustua, erected just three blocks away from the bustling main street. This
monument, erected in honor of the brave Peruvian warriors of the battles of
Junín and Ayacucho, will transport you to a past filled with courage and
determination. Built in 1846, the Arco Deustua is much more than a structure;
it is a symbol of national pride and a reminder of the heroic feats of our
ancestors.
In the heart of the city awaits the
charming Parque Pino, where the
monument to Dr. Manuel Pino stands majestically, a true hero of the war against
Chile. Built in 1901, this monument is an eternal tribute to the bravery and
sacrifice of those who fought for freedom.
We will stroll through the bustling
Jiron Lima, the main artery of Puno,
where you will find a wide variety of souvenirs, restaurants, accommodations,
and more. Explore the authentic local atmosphere while indulging in the colors,
aromas, and sounds of this lively street.
Do not miss the historic Plaza de Armas, formerly known as Supay
Wasi, where the monument to Colonel Francisco Bolognesi stands. This square,
which once housed a majestic bronze fountain, is now a meeting point full of
history and architectural beauty. You will be able to appreciate the beauty of
the Cathedral of Puno.
For an unforgettable cultural
experience, visit the Carlos Dreyer
Museum, where you will travel through time from the pre-Inca era to the
colonial period. Discover the fascinating Andean cultures of Pukara,
Tiahuanaco, and Inca as you immerse yourself in the rich history of the region.
And do not miss the mystical Mercado de Brujas de Laykakota, where
you can explore our fascinating idiosyncrasy through its unique products and
traditions.
At the end of the tour of the city
of Puno, we will return to the hotel.
