carol :: puno & lake titicaca, peru
lake titicaca came in as one of the biggest surprises to me during my Peru trip as i've never expected a place with such interesting people/villages/sceneries to shoot...
walking on the floating villages, which made up of totora reeds, was definitely a unique experience to me...
Taquile Island, where villagers speak mainly Quechua, have a long tradition of weaving.  Quality as well as different types of woven can denote different social status.  Throughout the visit, men would focus on their tightly woven woolen hats when they talked to each other and even when they walked around the village.  On the other hand, women on Taquile Island would focus on their embroideries.
