Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Gemely, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on a higher floor (4th or 5th) to minimize street noise, as Puno's main streets can be busy. You'll also want to opt for a room facing the interior courtyard to escape the sounds of the service entrance and potential street noise. Additionally, rooms on the east side of the hotel might get more natural light and a better view of the surrounding area.

Principais atrações em Puno
💡 Best in late afternoon when the sun softens and the trees cast long shadows. Avoid the park after dark – it’s poorly lit and can feel unsafe.
💡 You can walk right under it for free – no tickets needed. Combine with a short stroll up to the nearby Mirador del Lago for a broader view. The steps are steep but manageable.
💡 Usually unlocked from 08:00–12:00 and 15:00–18:00. The caretaker may ask for a voluntary donation of 2 or 3 soles. Don't expect a guided tour – wander quietly and take your own time.
💡 Sunset is the moment to go – the light turns the water silver. It’s a 10-minute uphill walk from the Plaza de Armas. No entrance fee, but you can buy a juice or snack from the vendor who sometimes sets up there.
💡 Entry is 5 soles (about £1). Go early to avoid the tour groups. The museum is easy to miss – look for the sign above a souvenir shop on Calle Deustua.
