8. Puno
Peru’s Altiplano is famous for a number of different reasons, the most prominent one likely being the fact that it’s home to Lake Titicaca. And on the shores of this legendary lake is the port city of Puno, which is a frequent stop of most travelers who wish to visit the lake in person. Interestingly, the city itself consists of mostly unfinished buildings, thereby giving off an impression of confusion, especially for first-timers.
On the other hand, its beautifully set against the backdrop of a sloping hill, which, needless to say, makes for a characteristic, ghost town-ey feel when viewed from a distance. When looking to explore the legendary floating islands on Lake Titicaca’s Peruvian side, Puno is an ideal attraction, truly making it one of the top rated places in Peru.
