Puno, conocida como la Capital del Folklore Peruano, es una ciudad a orillas del majestuoso Lago Titicaca, el lago navegable más alto del mundo. Su riqueza cultural se refleja en sus festividades, danzas y tradiciones ancestrales.
En este impresionante escenario se encuentran las Islas Flotantes de los Uros, un conjunto de islas artificiales construidas con totora, donde sus habitantes preservan su modo de vida basado en la pesca, la caza y la artesanía. Más adentro en el lago se ubica Taquile, una isla de gran belleza natural y gran valor cultural. Sus pobladores, famosos por sus exquisitos textiles declarados Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, mantienen vivas sus costumbres y conservan una comunidad autogestionada con un estilo de vida auténtico.
