Description

Explore downtown Puno on an amazing half-day tour that will take you to discover the most emblematic tourist attractions of this city.
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.
