Rural Puno

Hi guys,
So Puno...this place is incredible, has so many things to go for as in health, tourism among others.

One of my PI came to Puno, we went to this rural place, there were many things to do, check on the rural communities for the projects as for getting the "rural vibe" wich is awesome by the way. The sights are a real wonder of nature, the culture though is quite different than what I expected actually, many of the rurals are hostil, and afraid of getting in touch with the western modern culture. It seems for what i´ve done some research on that matter, that the Inca´s Era had some issues with conquering south america. Puno was an strategic area for commerce and leadership. Obviously the take of Puno by the spanish 500 years ago or so, brought some cultural differences that even in theses days is quite hard to overcome.
Nonetheless, the far u go over the rural to more traditional it gets, chucuito had this traditional party quite interesting, the customs are so bright and colorfull.
