Depart from the shores of Lake Titicaca for a day trip from Puno to Taquile Island, an isolated community famous for its unique textile traditions. Given the remote location and tricky logistics required to visit this UNESCO–protected Living Heritage Site, opting for an organized excursion is a smart move. Visits here start on the steep stone paths leading to the main village, where your guide will explain the island’s social structure and world-renowned knitting techniques practiced exclusively by men—most itineraries even include a traditional lunch of quinoa soup and fresh trout. Meanwhile, local boat captains handle the 2-hour trip across the lake while you sit back and enjoy Andean views.
