Puno Mystic (4 days / 3 nights)
Puno is for fans of community tourism, archaeology enthusiasts, admirers of religious monuments, handicraft collectors, those interested by local traditions and customs and wildlife and adventure sports lovers.
There are pre-Hispanic archaeological sites with circular constructions that still go by their original name of “chullpas”. Its churches are characterized by their distinctive colonial architecture. Many of the festivals, rituals, and actual ways of life remain from pre-Columbian time. Its inhabitants are proud of their Quechua and Aymara past, and their folkloric tradition that can be seen every year in the form of dances and rituals during the Festivity of Virgen de la Candelaria.
Puno is a legend, a multicolored festival, and home to natural and artificial islands in Lake Titicaca.

08:00 Excursion to Amaru Muru: Located on Lake Titicaca area near the border with Bolivia, the flat stone is roughly 23-feet square, with a T-shaped alcove some 6 feet, 6 inches tall carved into it. What purpose the space once served is unknown, but the most likely explanation is that it was an abandoned Incan construction project. Locals are said to call the doorway the "Puerta de Hayu Marca," or "Gate of the Gods," and local legends apparently speak of people disappearing through the doorway as well as of strange sights, such as "tall men accompanied by glowing balls of lights walking through the doorway." But as much of this type of reporting comes back from those who believe the doorway to be some kind of portal—such as paranormal writer Jerry Willis, who claims to have traveled through the doorway—it is hard to know which "local legends" are legitimate. And photographs of people goofing off in and around the "multi-dimensional portal" do little to add to its mystique.
