Islas Flotantes (Floating Islands)

Islas Flotantes (Floating Islands), artificial islands of huge rafts of bundled reeds, on which live several hundred indigenous Peruvians, the Uros people. The larger islands may house some ten families; smaller islands hold only two or three. The reeds grow abundantly in the lake. A new layer of reeds must be added to the islands every three months or so. Lake Titicaca, near Puno, Peru
