107 vistas

Hello, travelers! I’m part of the Dreamy Tours team, and today I want to take you by the hand to one of the most magical destinations in Peru: Taquile Island on Lake Titicaca.

Imagine a place where time seems to stand still, where the hills are covered with green terraces, and the smiles of the locals welcome you as if you were family. On Taquile Island, Puno, you will not only find postcard-perfect landscapes, but also a vibrant culture that embraces you.

As a travel agency specializing in authentic experiences, at Dreamy Tours we have taken hundreds of people to discover this wonder, and each trip is a story you will cherish forever.

Why Visit Taquile Island on Lake Titicaca?

Located in the heart of Lake Titicaca, Taquile Island is a little slice of paradise, about a 3-hour boat ride from Puno. When you arrive, the lake’s deep blue water meets the clear sky, and the island’s hills look as if they were painted by an artist. But what makes Taquile, Peru special isn’t just its beauty: it’s its people. The Taquileños, with their vibrant textiles and ancient traditions, show you what it means to live in harmony with nature.

At Dreamy Tours, we organize tours to Taquile Island in Puno that combine adventure, culture, and moments to simply breathe. I remember one couple who sat with me in the island’s main square, eating freshly harvested quinoa and looking out at the lake. “This is peace,” they told me. And they’re right. A trip to Taquile Island is perfect if you’re looking to unplug and immerse yourself in something real, far from the city noise.

What to Do on Taquile Island: A Unique Cultural Experience

So, what can you do on Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca? So much! First, walking the stone paths is like stepping back in time. There are no cars, just trails surrounded by wildflowers and grazing sheep. One of my favorite moments on our tours is visiting the textile cooperatives. The Taquileño men and women hand-weave hats, belts, and blankets with colors that tell stories. Did you know that the men knit their own chullos (traditional hats) to show their marital status? It’s fascinating!

Another must-do is hiking to the highest point on the island. The views of Lake Titicaca from there are out of this world: the water shines like a mirror, and on clear days, you can see the snow-capped peaks of Bolivia. Bring a camera, because you’ll want to capture every angle. And don’t miss out on the local food: a bowl of quinoa soup or fresh fish from the lake, served in family homes, is a treat for the soul.

At Dreamy Tours, our tours to Taquile Island include local guides who speak Quechua and Spanish and share anecdotes you won’t find in guidebooks. Once, a guide told us how the Taquileños celebrate their festivals with dances that last until dawn. Those are the stories that make a trip special

Combining Taquile and Titicaca: A Tour from Puno

If you’re in Puno, a tour to Taquile Island is super accessible. From the port, our boat first takes you to the Uros Islands, those floating islands made of totora reeds that look like they’re from a dream. Then, we continue to Taquile on Lake Titicaca, where you’ll spend the day exploring, eating with locals, and learning about their traditions. Many of our travelers combine this tour with a visit to Amantaní, another nearby island, for a complete Lake Titicaca experience.

Dreamy Tours tip: bring warm clothes (the lake can be cold, even on sunny days) and comfortable walking shoes. Also, please be respectful of the local customs—the Taquileños are friendly, but they truly appreciate when visitors are respectful of their culture.

My Favorite Taquile Story with Dreamy Tours

On one of our recent tours to Taquile Island, Peru, we had a group of friends who were looking for something different for their trip. We organized a sunset hike, followed by a dinner with a Taquileño family. As we shared mate de muña, a grandmother taught us how to distinguish the colors in their textiles: red for passion, green for the earth. That day, one of the friends bought a hand-woven shawl for his mother and told me, “This isn’t just a souvenir, it’s a piece of Taquile.” Moments like that are what inspire us here at Dreamy Tours.
