How to prepare for my tour in Puno?
- Preparing for a tour in Puno is key to enjoying the experience to the fullest. First, acclimate to the altitude: Puno is over 3,800 meters above sea level, so it is recommended to arrive at least a day in advance, get plenty of rest, and stay hydrated. Wear warm, layered clothing, as temperatures can vary drastically between day and night. Don’t forget comfortable walking shoes, especially if you’re visiting archaeological sites like Sillustani or the Uros Islands. Protect your skin with sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as the high-altitude sun can be intense. Bring cash for purchasing handicrafts or tipping, and consider carrying light snacks and a bottle of water. With these precautions, you’ll be ready to enjoy the rich culture, history, and landscapes that Puno has to offer. An unforgettable experience awaits!
