Puno Links
This page provides links with information about life, travel, and research in the Department of Puno and surrounding areas of the Lake Titicaca Basin. The Department of Puno is an ecologically and culturally diverse area located in southeastern Peru with incredible natural beauty-- from the high jungle in the north, the windswept puna to the west, and the shores of Lake Titicaca to the south and east. I have had the pleasure of living and working in this region for over 15 years and look forward to sharing information that promotes interest in its people, natural beauty, and cultural resources. Please let us know if you have suggestions for additional links.
