Puno
Most of the houses in Puno are in bricks. Neither painted nor cemented. As you reach, you see this deluge of bricked houses giving way to the blue of Lake Titicaca. Puno seems to be a very poor town, mostly surviving on tourism.
There is one pedestrian street filled with restaurants, shops, etc. which does not have any bricked construction. This is where you find most of the people and most of the tourists.
If it wasn’t for Lake Titicaca, this place would probably be unknown.
I am so close to Bolivia!
Tomorrow I will be closer, as I will go island hopping in the lake.
Continuing my stay away from hostel life to get a bit of space for myself… single rooms are cheap in Peru, so I decided to make the most of it! :)
