The department of Puno is in the southeast of Peru,It was founded as San Juan
Bautista de Puno on November 4, 1668.

Puno is A place full of attractions and charms. The home of Lake Titicaca, from
where, according to legend, the children of the Sun, Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo,
emerged from its waters to civilize the masses, worship the Sun God and found
the powerful Inca Empire. This is Puno, full of mysticism and millenary history,
where its people will enchant you, its climate will strengthen you and its attractions
will make you fall in love.

Because in Puno everything is related to the history of ancient Peru, that from
which the first civilizations emerged, and that still preserve their teachings and
practices to this day: just look at their native villages, where they still practice
ancestral customs that end up being one of the most powerful attractions for
domestic and foreign tourists.
