How much walking is there on Taquile?
A moderate uphill walk. The island sits above 3,800 m, so take it slowly.
Is lunch included?
Yes, the traditional lunch on Taquile is part of the programme. Extra drinks are not.
How is this different from the conventional boat?
The speedboat cuts the crossing time considerably, so you spend more time on the islands and less sitting on a boat.
