Taquile | Puno

In Taquile, Lake Titicaca reveals art, history and ancient culture at every step.

The charm of Lake Titicaca is intensely experienced on islands such as Taquile, where the history kept in the memory of its people is expressed in marvelous textiles, true works of art recognized worldwide.

In their textiles, the inhabitants reflect their imagination and culture, in complex designs that honor the richness of their ancestral legacy, which can also be visited if one enters the various trails that lead to ancient terraces and Inca ceremonial centers.
