Party in Puno.

Having arrived in Puno (home of Lake Titicaca) only a few hours ago, we have found ourselves in the mix of the annual carnival where members from surrounding villages come and dance their traditional dances through the streets in the most spectacular of costumes, I thought they should be shared...





The procession went on for hours, despite the rain, to the sound of hundreds of different bands, that not only marched, but danced as they played. It has got me so excited for Rio. These costumes were so impressive so I can´t wait to see what the Brazillians have in store for us.

Puno´s little unknown gem that we were very lucky to stumble across just at the right time.
