About Juliaca and Puno
Juliaca is a commercial city in Peru’s southern highlands, serving primarily as the air gateway to nearby Puno and Lake Titicaca. Puno itself sits directly on the lake’s shores and is renowned for its rich Andean cultural traditions, vibrant festivals, and access to the unique floating islands built by the Uros people.
Things to Know When Flying Into Juliaca
Juliaca sits at over 3,800 meters (12,500 feet) above sea level, so travelers should plan for altitude acclimatization and drink plenty of water upon arrival.
The airport is roughly 45-60 minutes from Puno, the main jumping-off point for Lake Titicaca boat tours.
The famous floating Uros Islands, built entirely from reeds, are a major highlight reachable by boat from Puno.
Warm layered clothing is essential year-round given the high-altitude climate, which brings cold nights even in the dry season.
