Festivals do keep that spirit of Puno quite alive, with the city honoring the Virgen de la Candelaria, particularly in February. Acts of song, acts of dance, and acts of devotion make each of the streets come alive at almost this time.

Lake Titicaca lies between the lands of both Peru as well as Bolivia, the highest lake for boats to travel. The deep blue waters of it reflect that same sky on certain clear days, and they hold that sun’s warmth just like a sacred mirror. Its waters have witnessed the rise of tribes and also the clash of cultures. From faraway lands, strangers arrived at this ancient of lakes. The past’s spirit continues toward defining the present wherein the people’s stories are twisted into the lake’s very fabric itself.
Amantani Island, nestled at around 36 kilometers from the port of Puno, deeply connects to both the land and also the sky.
