Uros
The Uros are an indigenous people living on floating islands made of reeds in Lake Titicaca, which is located on the border of Peru and Bolivia. They have a unique lifestyle that revolves around fishing, hunting, and gathering, as well as crafting items from the reeds that grow in the lake. The Uros have maintained their traditional way of life for centuries, adapting to the challenges of their environment.
The islands are constructed from totora reeds, which are abundant in the lake. The Uros use these reeds not only for building their homes but also for making boats and various crafts. Their culture emphasizes community and sustainability, as they rely on the natural resources of the lake for their survival.
