Puno: City Walking Tour with Folkloric Show

Discover Puno’s rich culture on a walking tour. Visit the Carlos Dreyer Museum, enjoy views from Cerrito Huajsapata, and end with a folkloric show.
Begin your tour at the Plaza de Armas, in the Cathedral of Puno. Admire the Andean-Baroque grandeur of the city, with its native carved motifs, twin towers, and golden altarpieces that blend Catholic and Andean symbols.

From the plaza, head to the Carlos Dreyer Municipal Museum, a compact and well-maintained collection of pre-Inca ceramics, chullpa models, and textiles that illuminate the cultural threads woven through the streets and festivals of Puno.

Next, climb a bit to Cerrito Huajsapata for a panoramic view of Lake Titicaca and the city below. Enjoy an impressive visual map that will help you better understand the experience as you move forward.

Descend to the Laykacota Market (Witches' Market) to meet herbalists and family vendors selling muña, coca, and ritual offerings. Learn how these living traditions support daily life and festival practices while modeling respectful interaction and ethical purchasing.

Continue to the Deustua Arch, an elegant 19th-century monument commemorating the heroes of independence. It's a perfect spot for photos and connecting national history with local memory.

Stroll through Pino Park, the social center of Puno, where monuments, benches, and facades invite people-watching and a brief pause for a snack. End at the Church of San Juan Bautista, a beloved parish for its devotion to the Virgin of Candelaria. When open, enter silently to see the altarpieces and learn about the routes of the processions, music, and costumes that enliven the city every February.

Finish the tour with an authentic Puno folk show, where you can appreciate the cultural richness of the highlands through traditional dances, colorful costumes, and live music. This show will allow you to get up close to the most representative artistic expressions of Puno.
