“Qelqatani Hotel strikes me as a particularly convenient base for exploring Puno's heart, and reports of especially attentive service from the family who runs it resonate strongly. The radiator in each room-a rare find, it seems-would certainly be welcome after a day on the lake. I get the sense Qelqatani offers a genuinely thoughtful experience.”
