Recommendations
-
Take the Hike Slow and Steady: The uphill walk on Taquile is short but steep, and at nearly $4,000\text{ m}$ ($13,000\text{ ft}$), the air is thin. Walk slowly, breathe deeply, and take small breaks—your body will thank you.
-
Be Mindful of Boat Sickness: If you are prone to motion or sea sickness, we highly recommend taking a motion sickness pill (like Dramamine) about 30 minutes before boarding the boat at the Puno port.
-
Sun Protection Is Key: Due to the altitude and the sun's reflection off the water, the UV radiation on Lake Titicaca is exceptionally high. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, even if the sky looks overcast or cloudy.
-
Avoid Aggressive Haggling: Taquile operates on a community-based tourism model. Buying textiles directly from the family hosts is the best way to support their cultural preservation. Please pay the fair asking price for their exquisite, time-consuming manual work.
What to bring
- Bring high-factor sunscreen, sunglasses, and a sun hat.
- A windbreaker or warm jacket (the breeze on the open lake can get quite cold).
- Camera and extra cash in Soles for unique handmade souvenirs or tips.
- Comfortable walking shoes or sneakers with good traction for the hike on Taquile.
