Things to Do in Puno
Though Puno is generally used as a starting off point to visit the surrounding islands, there are still a few activities to enjoy here. Visit Puno's baroque cathedral built in 1757, and afterwards, explore the oldest house in the area (now a cultural center). There are a handful of museums in the area showcasing the lake's history and ancient archaeological artifacts. There is a charming little park, old ruins and of course, many activities that can be organized outside of Puno.
