We stayed at a colonial style historic hotel called Casona Colon Inn in Puno. At one time it must have been the best hotel in town. It had beautiful wood trim, paintings and chimaeras. The breakfast was the best. On our way to the Juliaca airport we drove out to the plains to see some lagos and the pre-Inca tombs of Sullistani. These tombs are conical towers called chullpas. These towers are placed in an area with magnetic powers. The single red rock is a special prayer rock. I left coca leaves and made some very special wishes there……
So, here are my favorite sites of the day. Mariska was such a happy girl….
