Peru: Puno

Coming: Arrive via the bus you’ve chosen from HERE. 

Sleeping: Don’t sleep here.

Eating: Ricos Pan. Cheap menu del dia for lunch and good all-around food. Not a ton of options for vegetarians, though. There is a bakery downstairs as well as ice cream!

Doing: Floating islands- They’re extremely touristy but I thought they were still cool. They’re just so unique it’s hard to pass up the chance to see them. It is entire communities build on REEDS for heaven’s sake. That’s cool! Bring your passport and for 1 PEN you can get a stamp! There are 2.5 hour tours, full day or 2 day tours. I saw all I needed to see in the 2.5 hours and am happy with that. 

Price- S/. 35 PEN ($10 USD) for 2.5 hour tour  

Staying: Half day. Skip it if you’re short on time though. 

Going: Head north to Cusco or south to Arequipa. Otherwise head onwards to Bolivia!
