"Our stay at the Sonesta Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the warmth of the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. They may need to be reminded of any ask twice, but they are really good people. The location is breathtaking. Waking up to panoramic views of Lake Titicaca ..."

"Experiencia única la oportunidad de convivir y aprender con nuestros anfitriones. El agua caliente no llega a nuestro cuarto por lo que hay que usar un baño exterior pero aun con ese inconveniente la amabilidad y actitud de servicio en todo momento compensó ese detalle."

Fun place to begin exploring the region.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The area immediately around the hotel was great. Two to 3 blocks past the hotel felt a little unsafe and unkept. Puno has the potential to be an great destination by itself, but has a way to go before it gets there.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Great little city with not a huge tourist feel compared to Cusco or Lima.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We found everyone friendly and helpful. It took a couple of days to adjust to the altitude but then the cool mountain air and sunshine were lovely. We looked up old friends and found some new ones.

5/5 - Excellent

I liked Puno because it was easy to get around on foot. The central market was under construction but there were many other shops. The Artisan Market had lots of variety and reasonable prices. Good place to launch a visit to Lake Titicaca.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Puno is a great and very unique place to visit. Though visitors have to be aware of the high altitude.
