Hotel tips for you

Breakfast Buffets: Guests often say the breakfast buffet is a standout, with a wide spread of eggs, breads, fruits, and local dishes.
Central Location: Many hotels sit a short walk from the Plaza de Armas, close to restaurants and tour pickup points.
High Altitude: Puno's altitude tops 3,800 meters, and hotels commonly provide oxygen or help with altitude sickness.
Pedestrian Streets: The streets around the main plaza are pedestrian-only, so cars and taxis drop you a short walk from your hotel.
Helpful Staff: Travelers repeatedly praise Puno hotel staff as friendly and attentive with practical needs.
