use the cattail, a type of rush, which grows in the lake, to create the
conditions that ensure the islands stay afloat. The dense roots that the
plants develop support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses
are extremely humid because of the surrounding water. At present, they speak
Quechua and Aymara. Then we will visit the Taquile island, where we will
have lunch in the cooperative restaurant. There is also a cooperative shop
on the plaza that sells exceptional wool goods which are of very fine
quality and somewhat expensive. Taquile Island is famous for its craft
production, particularly for its beautiful textiles. The island is narrow at
about 1 Km. wide and 6 to 7 Km. long. The visit could be exhausting because
of the 533 steps on the stone stairway to climb to get to the village and
because of the altitude (13,000 ft above sea level). On Taquile there are
numerous pre-Inca and Inca ruins as well as Inca terracing. We will return
in Puno in the afternoon. Overnight at the hotel. (B,L)
