Known for its rich cultural heritage, Puno is considered the folkloric capital of Peru due to its vibrant festivals, especially the feast of the Virgin of Candelaria. The city is a gateway to the lake's famous floating islands, where the Uros people have lived for centuries on hand-made reed islets. In addition, Puno's proximity to Bolivia offers an opportunity to explore more of the Andean highlands and ancient civilizations.
