The hotel's own restaurant, Restaurante #1, serves Peruvian dishes like ceviche and lomo saltado, and there is also a bar for drinks. For more options, the center of Puno, about 16 km away, has places like Restaurant Colors on Calle Lima, known for Andean and international food, and Restaurant Vida Natural on Jr. Lambayeque for fresh vegetarian meals. You can also try Cafe restaurant Monterrey on Pasaje Grau for breakfast or Restaurant pizzeria Ollantay nearby for pizza and trout. A taxi or ride-hailing service can take you into town easily.
Hotel Pumakala sits in Chucuito, a quiet lakeside area about 15 km from Puno's center, with garden and mountain views. The hotel itself has a sun terrace, a games room, and outdoor seating, so you can enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Lake Titicaca and the Uros Islands are the main draws nearby, and the hotel's tour desk can help arrange boat trips. The city's main sights, like Plaza Mayor de Puno and Puno Cathedral, are roughly 16 km away, so you'll need a taxi or ride-hailing to reach them. It's a calm base for exploring the lake and the region's culture.
From Juliaca Airport, the nearest airport, you can take a taxi or rideshare for the drive to the hotel, which is about 34.3 miles away. The hotel is also about 39 miles from Inca Manco Cápac International Airport, so a pre-booked transfer is a good option. If you arrive by train, the Puno railway station is in the city center, and from there a taxi will get you to the hotel. The hotel is located in Chucuito, about 15 km from central Puno, so plan for a short ride from the station. The hotel offers shuttle service, which you can arrange for a smooth arrival.
In the evening, you can enjoy a meal and a drink at the hotel's own restaurant and bar, which serves Peruvian cuisine. The hotel also has a games room and a sun terrace where you can relax after dark. For a change of scene, the city center, with its sights like Plaza Mayor de Puno and Puno Cathedral, is about 16 km away, so you would need a taxi or ride-hailing service to get there. Calle Lima in the center is known for its restaurants, bars, and clubs, making it a good spot for an evening out. Alternatively, you can simply unwind at the hotel with its garden and outdoor seating.
Hotel Pumakala sits about 16 km from Puno's main sights, so it is a calm base rather than a central one. Plaza Mayor de Puno, the cathedral, and Pino Park are all roughly 16 km away, meaning you will need a taxi or a tour pickup to reach them. The hotel is well placed for Lake Titicaca excursions, with Uros and Taquile island tours commonly arranged from Puno. For a quiet stay with easy access to the lake trips, this works well, but plan transport for the city center sights.
