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.

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

expensive. Taquile Island is
famous for its craft production, particularly for its beautiful textiles.
The island is narrow at about 1 Km. wide and 6 to 7 Km. long.
The visit could be exhausting because of the 533 steps on the stone stairway
to climb to get to the village and because of the altitude (13,000 ft above
