A propriedade — La Capilla
La Capilla has a functional, no-fuss feel: clean rooms around a small courtyard, a 15-minute walk from the Plaza de Armas. The lobby is modest with a chapel-themed decor and a receptionist who can book Lake Titicaca tours. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a reliable base rather than character or lake views.
Crónicas de Puno
Puno was founded in 1668 as a silver-mining outpost and later became a centre for wool and cattle trade. The Spanish grid layout remains, with the cathedral (built 1757) dominating the plaza. Today it is the folkloric capital of Peru, famous for the Festividad de la Virgen de la Candelaria each February, which mixes Catholic and Andean traditions. The city's population is predominantly Aymara and Quechua, and its streets buzz with market stalls selling alpaca goods and chifa restaurants.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La Capilla, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard, as these are furthest from street noise and the small lift stops at the 2nd floor. The rear orientation catches less traffic rumble from Jirón San Martin.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 1st floor (street level) facing the front — they're directly above the pavement and suffer from pedestrian and vehicle noise. Also skip rooms next to the lift shaft on any floor, as the old lift is noisy.
Best views
Front-facing rooms on floors 2–4 have a narrow view over Jirón San Martin towards the street and other low-rise colonial buildings. Rear-facing rooms see the courtyard and possibly rooftops, but no lake view — Puno’s main plaza is a short walk away.
Quietest floors
3rd and 4th floors are the quietest; 2nd floor is middling. Upper floors reduce ground-level noise.
🔊 Noise notes
Jirón San Martin is a busy pedestrian and vehicle route in central Puno. Expect street noise from 6am to 10pm, including honking, market vendors, and evening revellers. The internal lift is manual and creaks; service deliveries use a rear alley entrance near the courtyard in the early morning.
Insider tips
1. If you have heavy luggage, ask ahead for help with stairs — the lift is tiny and can be temperamental. 2. The best value is a rear-facing room on the 3rd floor; request it at booking and confirm a day before arrival.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

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.
