Ferrocarril Hotel

As a new century creeps up, way back in 1899 our family settled in Puno coming from Italy. Their one goal was to give hospitality to all those that passed through Puno: farmers, miners, wool traders or other immigrants coming from Europe. It was the beginning of our long and fantastic "novel" that after four generations always with the same spirit, day after day, without ever closing, has guided us into this new millennium.
Many years have passed by but you will always find the same quality, comfort and welcoming that only a family can give you. While waiting for your visit we would like you to try how it feels "to be at home.. far from home"

Puno Titicaca Lake

Puno, a sea in the skyLocation
Southern Andes at 3,827 meters above sea level.

Climate

It's dry and extremely cold, with bright sunshine during the day and temperature dropping under zero at night. The rainy season is between September and April.

Landscape

Highlands, there is Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world (3,810 meters above sea level) with natural islands like "Taquile" and artificial ones like "Uros" made with totora (a kind of straw) by the people who live there.

History

The territories of Puno were inhabited by cultures before Incas, especially by the Tiahuanaco Empire, which had expanded through the whole Peruvian-Bolivian highlands. The most important archaeological sites is the Sillustani Incas tombs called "chulpas".

Activities

You can do excursions and camps around Lake Titicaca. You can also take boat trips on the lake itself.

Lake Titicaca, a night with its inhabitants

In the Titicaca Lake are two big islands, Taquile and Amantani. Taquile is unique for many reasons. First, its inhabitants wear distinctive clothes: for men, black pants, white shirt and colorful, woven sash called "chumpi"; for women, traditional skirts and long black tunics called "llicllas". On the islands there are no vehicles, roads, police or electricity, and, curiously enough, no dogs. Perhaps, the most interesting characteristic of the people of Taquile is their solid sense of community, and their belief that to be lazy is a sin.

On our two day trip to the Titicaca Lake, we stayed one night at the quiet and peaceful island named Amantani. We got there in the early afternoon and the family, who let us stay with them at their home, met us at the port and took us to their house, where we had lunch. In the late afternoon we could watch a lovely sunset from the top of a hill at the temple of Mamapacha (the mother earth). In the evening, after dinner, we went to the community house, where the people of the island played music and danced with us, like we were members of the town.
