Images from Peru, Page-1

From Bolivia we entered Peru, the last South American country on our trip. Our first stop was Puno, which had been given bad press by fellow travellers, but we loved it, with it's lovely cafes and restaurants.
From Puno we visited the 'must see' Lake Titicaca and The Uros, or the 'floating islands' as they are better known. We also went ashore at the island of Taquille, which was a lovely little island.
