Huillanopampa Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Isla Taquile is a tiny island in the Peruvian side of the huge Lake Titicaca, situated at an altitude of over 12,000 ft.
La sociedad taquileña está basada en el trabajo colectivo y en el código moral Inca "Ama sua, ama llulla, ama quella" (no robarás, no mentirás y no serás perezoso). Actualmente su economía se basa en la pesca, la agricultura de la papa en los andenes y el turismo, recibe anualmente 40,000 turistas. Los taquileños son especialmente conocidos por sus tejidos, los que se encuentran dentro de la más fina artesanía no solo en Perú sino en el mundo. "Taquile y su arte téxtil" fueron honrados al ser proclamados "obras maestras del Patrimonio Oral e Inmaterial de la Humanidad” por la UNESCO. Cabe resaltar que el hilado y el tejido es hecho principalmente por hombres, comenzando a la edad de ocho años. Las mujeres hacen exclusivamente de hilados y tejidos. La vida en Taquile es todavía en gran parte sin cambios por la modernidad del continente. No hay coches y hoteles en la isla solo hay unas pequeñas tiendas que venden los productos básicos. La mayoría de las familias utilizan velas o linternas con baterías o manivelas.
Far from home!
The island have a rich culture and a nice view!
On the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca, Taquile is a beautifully green island with a very Mediterranean feel. It's possible to make day tips here from Puno, 45km away (we went with Edgar Adventures for a cost of 60 soles each). The island is most famous for its handicrafts (knitting and weaving), which are considered among the best in the whole of Peru. Most trips here will include a short hike to the island's highest point (4050 metres above sea level), a little bit of history about the island's culture and handicrafts, and a gorgeous lunch of fresh fish and Muña tea. Definitely a worthwhile trip and not as touristy as the guidebooks would have you believe.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (36 reviews)
A beautiful place to stay with great views. We weren’t able to do any tours as we both went down with altitude sickness, obviously not the fault of the hotel, but the staff we very helpful and attentive and turned what could have been a bad experience into a very pleasant stay.
