Hi, I'm Hugo! I was born and raised by Lake Titicaca, and Puno has been my home for most of my life. I've been guiding here since 2010, and I still get excited every time I take someone out on the lake for the first time. It all started in a simple way: travelers would stop me on the street to ask how to get somewhere or where to find a good meal, and I loved helping them. That's still what I enjoy most, making your trip easier and sharing the place I'm proud to call home. I'd love to show you the Uros floating islands, Taquile and Amantaní, and the quiet peninsulas of Llachón and Luquina. We can also visit the Sillustani tombs, walk through Puno and Chucuito, or travel together to Cusco or La Paz with stops along the way. I guide trips to Arequipa and Chivay too. No two travelers are the same, so I like to shape each tour around you: your pace, your interests and the time you have. Before you arrive I'll send you a few practical tips, and on the tour I'll tell you the stories and the everyday life behind each place, the way locals live it. Write to me with your dates and what you'd like to see. I'll get back to you soon with ideas, and I'm happy to answer any questions along the way. - Licensed official tour guide in Peru since 2010 - More than 10 years guiding in Puno, Arequipa and Cusco - Advanced English certificate (CAE) - Driver's license to transport travelers in Peru

Puno's Culinary Nights: A Local Street Food Journey
Overview of your Puno tour
Come with me on a nighttime food adventure through Puno, where we'll savor the same incredible local dishes that residents here absolutely love! Our journey kicks off right in the heart of the city, at Parque Pino. We'll begin our tasting with some sweet local delights, including a traditional pastry called alfajor puneño filled with a unique sweet chancaca syrup. (an unrefined sugar cane syrup) You'll also try mazamorra morada, a vibrant dessert made from purple corn, and api, a warm, comforting drink crafted from quinoa flour. Get ready for crispy chunchulí, grilled beef intestines with a smoky flavor, and the famous anticuchos, savory grilled beef skewers. To round off our tour, we'll indulge in freshly made picarones, a unique Peruvian donut served with sweet syrup. (Picarones are distinctive donuts made from sweet potato and squash.) And to finish, we'll sip on emoliente, a comforting, traditional herbal tea prepared with local medicinal plants, offering warmth on Puno's chilly nights.
