The Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca
The Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca are the home of the Uros, who consider themselves the owners of the lake and its waters. Traditionally fishermen and weavers, they now include tourism as a mainstay as visitors to the lake enjoy the sensation of walking on a floating layer of reeds.

El Pueblo del Lago
"A seis kilómetros del puerto lacustre de Puno se encuentra un sorprendente archipiélago de 40 islas de totora (especie de junco que crece en los terrenos pantanosos de América del Sur), habitadas por los Uros, descendientes directos de una de las culturas más antiguas del continente."

Island of Taquile - by Lynn F. Monahan
"Until 20 years ago Taquile was a forgotten place, tucked away near the western shore of the world's highest navigable lake, at 12,490 feet above sea level on the high Andean plateau called the Altiplano. Outsiders were so rare that residents hid at the sight of strange faces."
