A route with great landscapes, lakes, mountains and flamingos.
You have to leave Arequipa city (2400 mts. high) and take the road to Yura, after 2 hours the road splits and you have to go via right on Juliaca sign (it´s 3 more hours to Juliaca). On the first part of this road you will see some rock formations and lakes with flamingos. After about 1 hr. you will get to Lagunillas lake (4174 mts. high) where you can stop to use the toilet or prepare lunch. This stop has a nice view of the lake and huge mountains.
After this you will continue driving until get to Juliaca , this is not the nicest city and the roads are really bad. You have to drive through Juliaca and take the main road to Puno city, this will take just 1 hr. (49 Km. good road). When you get to Puno (3800 mts. high) you will have a nice vew of Titicaca lake. Puno has lots of hotels and restaurants close to the main square. The main street is called Lima street, here you can find restaurants, shops, atm´s and tourist offices.
