Uros Islands
The Uros Islands are a group of floating islands located on Lake Titicaca, which is situated between Peru and Bolivia. These islands are made primarily from totora reeds, a plant that grows abundantly in the lake. The Uros people, who inhabit these islands, have maintained their unique way of life for centuries, relying on fishing, hunting, and agriculture.
Each island is constructed by layering fresh totora reeds on top of older, decaying ones, allowing them to float. The Uros people also use these reeds to build their homes, boats, and crafts. The islands are a popular tourist destination, offering visitors a glimpse into this fascinating culture and lifestyle.
