Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car, start from the city of Puno. Head towards the port area, which is about a 10-minute drive from the city center. Once you arrive at the port, you will need to park your car in one of the designated parking areas. Note that parking fees can vary, so be prepared for a small cost. Next, purchase a ticket for a boat to Taquile Island from one of the local boat operators at the port.
-
Public Transportation
For public transportation, take a taxi or a local bus from your accommodation in Puno to the port area. The taxi ride should take about 10 minutes, while the bus may take a bit longer but is more economical. Once you arrive at the port, look for the ticket booths where you can buy a boat ticket to Taquile Island. The boat ride typically lasts about 1-2 hours, depending on the weather conditions.
-
Boat
After purchasing your ticket at the port of Puno, board the boat to Taquile Island. The boats usually operate on a schedule, departing in the morning and returning in the afternoon. Ensure you check the schedule ahead of time and arrive at least 30 minutes early to secure your spot. The cost for the boat ride is generally around 25-50 Peruvian Soles (approximately $7-$14 USD).
-
Walking
Once you arrive at Taquile Island, you will need to walk to the Typical Arc of Taquile, which is located a short distance away from the boat docking area. Follow the signs or ask locals for directions to the Typical Arc. The walk may take about 30 minutes and involves some elevation, so be prepared for a bit of a hike.
