Meet the native that live in tiny houses, play at their little school with the Uros children and go for a ride around the floating islands with small reed rafts. The Uros Floating Islands, is a small community that has lived on these reed Islands for decades. Centuries ago the small indigenous Uros tribe conceived of the islands as a way to isolate and protect themselves from rival tribes, the Collas and the Incas. The Uros people harvested the reeds in the shallows of the lake, bundled them together tightly and built floating island platforms complete with reed houses and canoes, creating in this way their own little world. Our tour to the Uros Floating Islands starts early in the morning, at 09:00 h. Our clients are collected from their hotels and then transferred down to the harboar. At the harboar we will abord a motorized boat that will take us to the trbes of the Uros people.
