Taquile Island

“Our guide told us to take a swim in Lake Titicaca was to be reborn so I took a dive right in.  It was cool both literally and figuratively.  The water was only fifty degrees- but I did get dunk Platt in.”
Jessie


“Again, a great cultural experience learning about the island residents.  I’m glad some of the students dared to jump into the lake.”
Winnie


“Best lunch on the trip.  The fresh trout was GREAT.  I loved the beach and enjoyed learning about the different gender roles of the culture.”
Randy


“This was a 5 star stop.  Our guide was masterful.”
Lou


“The food was incredible! I loved the presentation before lunch. The lake was cool and cold to swim in.  I was really glad we went here.”
Christa


“It was an amazing experience.  The water was cold but the swim was awesome-  I dug a great hole on the beach- better than Luke’s in my opinion.”
Spencer


“I liked how the ancient culture was still so alive here.  The beach was pretty impressive as well.”
Morgan


“I found the islander’s  views on gender roles and society in general to be very interesting.”
Andrew


“I will never forget the beach.  It was a cool place for a swim- literally and figuratively.”
Luke


“This island provided us such a great view of Lake Titicaca and the surrounding mountains.”
Sam


“The community of Taquile was such a lovely and tranquil place.  I felt fortunate to see the place and meet the people.”
Jan


“It stood out to me that the island children were so happy and beautiful.”
Cam

“Because of the elevation it was so hard to walk up but I was so glad I did because I learned so much about the culture of the island.”
Lauren


“This island was one of my favorite places.  I wish we could have had more time here.  It was both beautiful and fascinating.”
Zach


“I liked the explanations about the beliefs of the culture.  I found the story about the shaman, doctor and guinea pig to be fascinating.”
Paula


“I loved this quite island.  It was fun to watch the students get into the water.  It was a nice break from the ruins.”
