    • All the villages and houses are built in red stones and there are even some old churches around, small and simple, but nice. There are not really "architectural treasures" here, but the whole thing is harmonious and it goes with the landscape...

    • Although Taquile is surrounded by water all around, the lake didn't seem to play an important role in people's life here. The villages are all uphill, and life seems to happen at a certain distance from the waters.
    I guess in summer people (at least tourists) may have a swim in the lake's water, they seemed clear and inviting, but I couldn't tell, as I was there in autumn...

    • After you disembark from the boat you have to climb up to the main village hiking for about 30 minutes. Then you arrive to the main square of the island, where there are many men waiting for tourists to take them pictures. Of course they wait for some tip after the pic!

     Your secret is out!!! You've been sleeping with the locals!!!    		Bwana_Brown Wed Jul 6, 2005 19:01 UTC
     An extremely interesting page on this island of strange customs!! Quite an insightful observation about people living on an island yet they are not interested in the water! I like off-beat places like this. Thanks.
