What is like having a different view from your window every day? Well, it's just like this for the Uros people of Lake Titicaca in Peru. There are over forty "floating" islands here. Every day they are in a different place on the lake which is 3,812 meters above sea level.
These floating islands are home to about 300 people. Their surface is very soft and wet because they make the islands with totora reeds. There are small villages with three to ten families on each island.
Uros homes are small reed huts with one room. There is only bed for the whole family. There isn't any heating and it is sometimes very cold on the lake.
Life on the islands is very simple. The men are fishermen on the lake. They have reed boats with amazing animal faces to go fishing. The women are at home with the children. There's one school for the children but there isn't a hospital or doctors nearby.
These days, the islands are very popular with tourists . It's only a 30-minute motor boat ride from the city of Puno to the islands. Everyone is welcome to experience this unique way of life.
