I was traveling with you for a moment! I am planning for a long trip through South America in the next few years. I am seriously envious of your recent experience. The Peruvians certainly have a healthy charm about them and I expect are beginning to realize how special they are in a world that is constantly on the move and changing. Thank you.

I'm sure readers will continue to visit Puno despite the heavy rain. When visiting the Lake Titicaca, I based myself in Puno and really liked the small city. It's packed with culture and colonial architecture, yet quaint and small enough to be attractive. Thanks for the update. I’m sure readers will continue to visit Puno despite the heavy rain.

He went further and asked media to inform that roads connecting Puno with Tacna, Arequipa, and Cusco are operating normally, as are those crossing the border into Bolivia, and that access to the Juliaca Airport is completely open and has not been affected by the rains. As some may know, this is the week in which Puno celebrates “La Candelaria”, perhaps its busiest tourist time of the year. The feast is in full swing, and those tourists who have already reached Puno are enjoying the traditions, culture, and natural settings this marvelous destination has to offer.

Its such a pity that there are less and less places that go untouched as countries and cultures continue to be warped by tourism or plundered for natural resources driving traditional native communities from their territory. Visiting these places like this seems like a catch 22 situation.
