Introduction

The Uros floating islands rest on Peru's Lake Titicaca in the Puno region, hand-built by the Uru people from layers of totora reeds that are constantly renewed to keep the islands afloat — among the most extraordinary artificial islands in the Americas. Houses, boats and even furniture are woven of reed, and residents still live an ancient life upon the water, fishing and welcoming visitors. Stepping onto an island reveals the wisdom of Indigenous Andean people living in harmony with nature, and offers a serene, poetic pause amid the fragrant reeds and shimmering lake.
