High flatland of Puno Tableland: surrounded by the “Carabaya” mountain range by the north and by the Occidental mountain range by the south east, that at the same time, sub divides in:

Round the Lake area, with altitudes that vary from 3,810 to 3,900 meters above sea level, influenced by the thermal regulator effect of the lake, originating a favourable climate for agriculture activity, its climate is cold and dry with temperature excursions well marked between day and night.

Intermediate or High flatland area, from 3,900 to 4,200 meters above sea level of uneven topography with abundance of natural pastures for the breeding of bovine and ovine.

Mountain range area, with altitudes higher than 4,200, places where the “vicuñas”, “tarucas” and “suris” live in the wild. Ideal for the breeding of the South American animals such as the llama and the alpaca.

The formidable elevation of the flatland and its unique geographical condition, originate that in the practice there are only two climatic seasons well differentiated. The winter that absorbs the autumn and goes from May to October, with cold nights but with shiny days and intense luminosity. The spring that meets summer, that is the rainy season and extends from November to April. The average temperature is 9°C, raising to 24°C on a warm day and dropping at nights to temperatures between 2 a 3°C.
