Visiting Puno, Peru, on the banks of Lake Titicaca in April, my husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected pops of color we found when we wandered off the beaten path and into the town's many alleyways and courtyards. I love that most of the houses in Peru displayed a rooftop icon similar to the one here, with bulls to represent prosperity, a cross to represent their belief in Christianity, and a ladder to represent progress. If you find yourself in wonderful Puno, make sure to take some time to walk the town's lesser-travelled streets (at least during the day, maybe not at night), where you'll be rewarded with unexpected finds like this one.
