Lake Titicaca
Lake Titicaca, situated on the border of Peru and Bolivia, is home to a great number of aquatic species and renowned for its deep blue beauty. The Uros Islands or floating islands on the lake are made out of reeds that grow naturally on the banks of the lake, the Uros people take them and form islands out of them, by constantly adding reeds on the surface.
The islanders houses and boats are made from the same reeds. The welcoming island villagers fish with rustic nets and weave beautiful multi coloured textiles. The islands have no policemen, no dogs and no noise!
