What to do and see in Puno, Puno Region: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Llamas, sheep and alpacas roam the plains of Puno, a port city in southeastern Peru. Their fleeces are used to make the area’s signature textiles, which make excellent souvenirs. You’ll do a lot of walking here, as many of the streets are too steep for cars. But the climbs are worth it for the excellent views of Lake Titicaca. Take a boat to the Floating Islands or get up close and personal with the four-legged locals at a llama farm.

Probably 1.5 hours needed at a slow pace, we got a taxi from Puno for 100 soles, since we did the tour after the boat day trip and it’s well worth it, had almost the place to ourselves.

The hike up the stairs (roughly 600) would be easy if it was on a low elevation town. However at >3800 ASL, it is a bit of a challenge. Just be sure to have a day of rest when you get to Puno or take it really slow on the way up. The reward once you reach the top will be worth the effort. Alternatively, I do believe that there are taxis that will drive you all the way up.
