Islas Uros
Just 5km east of Puno, the unique floating
Islas Uros
(admission S5)
are Lake Titicaca's top
tourist attraction. They're built using the buoyant
totora
reeds that grow abundantly in the
shallows of the lake. The lives of the Uros people are inter woven with these reeds, which
are used to make their homes, their boats and the crafts they create for tourists. The reeds
are even partially edible.
