The Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca

A unique tourist destination, Floating Islands of lake Titicaca offer you a trip back in history to visit a most peculiar group of people of the Uros tribe. Hundreds of years ago, they chose to live on water by building large floating platforms (aka islands) using mostly totora reeds that grow nearby. Now, total number of islands is close to a hundred. Try to imagine your life on an island like this, the platforms require constant attention (they tend to rot pretty fast), and your daily diet would be mostly based on the same reeds, some fish, and maybe poultry.
