Taquile Island and Lake Titicaca

When we were on Taquile Island on Lake Titicaca, I saw this scene of a "father daughter" talk. I couldn't hear or even understand what was being said, but it was obvious that he had her respect and she was pretty interested in what he had to say. Everywhere you go, even in different cultures you see similarities, order, and love being spoken. Some things are truly universal.


Taquile Island is on Lake Titicaca which is the world's highest navigable lake at 4,050 meters above sea level. Let's see, that's about 13,284 feet in elevation! Wait a minute, I hiked up here from that lake down there!!??  No wonder I'm out of breath. We stayed in Puno for two nights in order to visit the lake and its islands. On this island we enjoyed a very nice lunch provided by a local family.
