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.

restaurant. There is also a cooperative shop on the plaza that sells

to climb to get to the village and because of the altitude (13,000 ft above
