Nothing has changed. The first artefact visible from afar was a thin structure, statue to an obscure god? primitive engineering construct? random accumulation of reeds? it was a goal posts. Statue to an obscure god after all. I think your website is fantastic and revolutionarilly brilliant. Magnificent! I boated out to the reed islands from Puno in 1969. Nothing has changed.

He went further and asked media to inform that roads connecting Puno with Tacna, Arequipa, and Cusco are operating normally, as are those crossing the border into Bolivia, and that access to the Juliaca Airport is completely open and has not been affected by the rains. As some may know, this is the week in which Puno celebrates “La Candelaria”, perhaps its busiest tourist time of the year. The feast is in full swing, and those tourists who have already reached Puno are enjoying the traditions, culture, and natural settings this marvelous destination has to offer.
