Breathless
The view from this vantage point at the top of Taquile Island in Lake Titicaca at 13,000 feet will take your breath away, literally, as you climb to the top of the island. Taquileños are one of the oldest inhabitants of Lake Titicaca and now allow tourists to stay on the island and experience their way of life. Taquileños are well known for their expertly made textiles, identified by UNESCO and are also known for their unusual gender roles, something not found anywhere else in Peru. Starting at age 8, males learn to knit and do so exclusively while women, only, make yarn and weave.
