the floating islands of the Uros. The residents of the
Uros use the cattail, a type of rush, which grows in the
lake, to create the conditions that ensure the islands
stay afloat. The dense roots that the plants develop
support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the
houses are extremely humid because of the surrounding
water.
At present they speak Quechua and Aymara. We will visit
3 different floating islands and we will board the
“Totora Boats”, after this tour we will continue our
trip and we will arrive to Llachon Peninsula. In Llachon,
we will appreciate the Inca’s costums that still stay,
the behavior and the interrelations of the residents.

peninsula and we will appreciate the natural landscape
