Puno

Puno is a city in southeastern Peru, located on the shore of Lake Titicaca. It is the capital city of the Puno Region and the Puno Province with a population of approximately 149,064 (2014 estimate). The city was established in 1668 by viceroy Pedro Antonio Fernández de Castro as capital of the province of Paucarcolla with the name San Juan Bautista de Puno. The name was later changed to San Carlos de Puno, in honor of king Charles II of Spain. Puno has several churches dating back from the colonial period; they were built to service the Spanish population and evangelize the natives.

Overview

Puno is an important agricultural and livestock region; important livestock are llamas and alpacas, which graze on its immense plateaus and plains. Much of the city economy relies on the black market, fueled by cheap goods smuggled in from Bolivia. Puno is served by the Inca Manco Capac International Airport in nearby Juliaca.

Puno is situated between the shores of Lake Titicaca and the mountains surrounding the city. There is less than two miles of flat land between the shores and the foothills, which has caused the growing city to continue to expand upwards onto the hillsides. As a result, the town's less developed and poorest areas, which are high on the hillsides, often have very steep streets, which are generally unpaved and cannot be accessed by automobile.

Puno Region

Puno is a region in southeastern Peru. It is bordered by Bolivia on the east, the Madre de Dios Region on the north, the Cusco and Arequipa regions on the west, the Moquegua Region on the southwest, and the Tacna Region on the south. Its capital is the city of Puno, which is located on Lake Titicaca in the geographical region known as the Altiplano or high sierra.

Puno was the territory of the Tiahuanacos (800 A.D. – 1200 A.D.) who were the highest cultural expression of the Aymara people that established themselves in what is today Peru and Bolivia. The Incas took over these lands in the fifteenth century, and the Spanish, attracted by the mining industry developed there, left an important Colonial legacy throughout the entire area.

Geography

The Puno region is located in the Collao Plateau. The western part of Lake Titicaca, which is the world's highest navigable lake, is located in the region. The Andean mountains make up 70% of the region's territory, and the rest is covered by the Amazon rainforest.

    Feed The Demons

    by: Pain

    Creeping and Cracking
    Baby don't look back, no one goes home tonight
    The evil we see and the evil we do
    Brings out the beast in me and you
    Waking up from screaming
    You think it's all in your head
    My my, it's a bad day to be alive
    It's crawling under your skin and feeds of your hate
    Just close your eyes and wait till the sun goes down
    You better stay awake
    The dark comes knocking so you better start running
    Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
    Hear the voices calling you
    Shadow's tongue licking your flesh
    Rips the clothes clean of your body
    Strip you clean straight down to the bones
    You can't stay awake, You can't fall asleep
    He's coming for your life
    Don't wanna wake up dead, you know you're over your head
    There ain't no turning back
    You better stay awake
    The dark comes knocking so you better start running
    Fear the demon in me, Fear the demon in you
    Laying in sweet tears
    Dreams are turning into a living hell
    The nightmares you see and the terror you feel
    Takes a turn for the worse and becomes real
    You better stay awake
    The dark comes knocking so you better start running
