2Uros Floating Islands
We'll start by visiting the Uros Titino Islands, where generations of families have built their homes entirely from totora reeds harvested from the lake. Watch as local residents demonstrate how they weave and layer the reeds to create the floating foundations beneath your feet. You'll learn about the constant maintenance required to keep these islands afloat and see the traditional reed boats that have been used for fishing and transportation for centuries. Many families also share stories about their daily life on the water and may invite you to step inside their reed homes to see how they've adapted to this unique way of living.
