OVERNIGHT)
At 8:00am, you will be picked up from your hotel, after 30
minutes of motorboat you will arrive at the Uros Island.
Fishermen and hunters inhabit 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
