[...] Bangkok and 4 from Kanchanburi. The Floating Market has a similar theme park feel to that of the floating islands on Lake Titicaca. It feels a long way from being authentic and seems to only be there for the droves of tourists who [...]

Beautiful images! No doubt that Puno is one of peru’s best choices, I had the nearly mystic opportunity of visiting Puno a lot of years ago and to stay at the “Libertador Lake Titicaca”, located in one of the islands right in the lake! I remember it had a perfect view. There was where I had seen one of the most perfect sun awakenings ever!

There have been many news reports concerning rain-related damage in the department of Puno, and, on account of those stories, Libertador Hotels, Resorts & Spas wishes to set the record straight that the devastated area is very far away from the destination’s major hotels, around 100 kilometers in fact, and that is why hotel managers and tour operators in Puno are guaranteeing that travelers will be 100% safe.

“It’s important for tourists to know that hotels are located far from the affected area and that they can stick to their travel plans to go to Lake Titicaca and other destinations around the region with no danger whatsoever,” stated Luis Barboza, Libertador Operations Manager. 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.

I´ve been in Lake Titicaca and I had the oportunity to enjoy the floating islands of the Uros people. This experiences was amazing because I had the oportunity to learn how to work in this places and understand more about their traditions. So if you have the oportunity to visit Lake Titicaca you should enjoy floating islands. Also, there are a lot of places to know and if you want you can do it with a travel agency. For me was perfect Turperu that helped me in everything from hotels, restaurants and tours. I recommend you, the web is http://turperu.com.pe/pages/inf_tour.php

This place looks beautiful. This made me think of Beavis and Butthead Do America; Beavis takes too many pep pills and starts blathering on about "titcaca." Regards!
