Uros Floating Islands in Lake Titicaca
The next morning we left to go for a two-day, one night trip to Lake Titicaca and two Islands.
We learned that Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable body of water in the world. It is believed by the people who live in (floating islands) and around the lake concern themselves descendants of Sacred Mother and that Lake Titicaca was the birthplace of civilization.
We took a boat from the bay of Puno to the Uros Floating Islands in Lake Titicaca.
There are 45 islands with some 2,000 inhabitants. The islands are made out of totora reeds. It was strange walking on the reeds when we got to the island. The houses are made out of the reeds and grasses. The people support themselves by the men fishing with unique boats made out of reeds. The boats hold approximately 25 people.
