Puno is a high-altitude Peruvian city on the shore of Lake Titicaca, the base for the floating reed islands of the Uros, Taquile Island and Sillustani.
Puno stands at about 3,800 metres on the shore of Lake Titicaca, in the Altiplano of southern Peru, with its bay filled with reed beds. The Plaza de Armas is framed by a baroque 18th-century cathedral with a carved stone façade, and viewpoints on the surrounding hills give views over the lake. Puno is called the folklore capital of Peru, for its dances, costumes and music.
