Puno

This week I fled Peru. My last stop in Peru was in Puno on Lake Titicaca at the amazing heights of 3,812m (almost 4km above New York!). I initially planed to stay overnight, but then I felt an urge to cross the border to Bolivia. Somehow 25 days in Peru were enough.

Before leaving I visited for a couple of hours floating islands of Uros. Even though the islands are very commercial, I think they are an absolute must. Where else can you walk on springing land made out of reeds? Each step is slightly shaky and soft. Quite unique experience.
