Candelaria Festival

Every year, early in February, Puno comes alive with the vibrant celebration of the Festival of the Virgen de la Candelaria, spanning 18 days. This jubilant festival dazzles with its array of colorful costumes, lively Peruvian music, and traditional dances.

Taquile Island

Until recently, the island of Taquile remained relatively isolated from the mainland of Peru, owing to its location on the shores of Lake Titicaca. Its residents, irrespective of gender, have preserved a centuries-old tradition of textile artistry. Recognizing its cultural significance, UNESCO has declared these weavings as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
