Puma Uta Viewpoint
Mirador Puma Uta
A viewpoint on a hill in northern Puno, with a puma stone sculpture, offering another angle on the city and Puno Bay.
Puma Uta lies on a hill in the Huajchapata district, north of central Puno. A huge stone puma sculpture sits on top. Legend has it that the name 'Titicaca' is linked to the 'gray puma.' The view covers the whole city, Puno port and the lake, and fewer visitors come here than to Kuntur Wasi. It is free. You can take a taxi up, or walk from the city center in about 30 to 40 minutes uphill. Going in daytime is recommended, and keep valuables secure.
