Day Eight: Puno and the Road to Cuzco

View over the city of Puno. The highest inhabited lake city in the world!

Hey Folks!

After our overnight tour on Lake Titicaca and the island Taquile, Amber and I were both feeling the affects of the altitude. Her symptoms were GI, mine were fatigue. Puno seemed like the perfect place to relax and sleep it off.

We checked ourselves into an awesome hotel complete with a king size bed, bath tub and TV. Pretty awesome for South America! As Amber slept all day I headed out with my novel in hand and enjoy the city.

Check out the photos below!

After a few nights of rest in Puno, Amber was fairly acclimatized. We headed on the luxury bus North towards Cuzco.

Along the way we stopped at touristy area where we could checkout sheep, alpaca and llamas.
