Day 6: Lake Titicaca, Uros Floating Islands
After breakfast, you take a boat out across the world's highest navigable lake to the Uros floating islands as part of your Lake Titicaca tours. The lake opens up slowly: cold, flat water, morning light playing on the surface, banks disappearing in the haze. The islands are built from totora reed, and the Aymara people, who live on them, have kept their traditional way of life, clothing, and ceremonies. Reed is used for houses, boats, and food. Fishing is still the main way of life. They also make simple souvenirs for visitors. Their traditional clothing, including layered skirts, bowler hats, and bright ponchos, is still part of everyday life, simple and unchanged.
