UROS - AMANTANY ISLANDS
You will be picked up from your hotel around 8:20 am, after 2 hours motorboat
you will arrive at the Uros island. Fishermen and hunters inhabit the
floating islands of the Uros. The residents of the Uros use the cattail, a
type of rush, which grows in the lake, to create the conditions that ensure
the islands stay afloat. The dense roots that the plants develop support the
island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses are extremely humid because
of the surrounding water. At present they speak Quechua and Aymara., then
you will visit Amantany Island on Lake Titicaca. With a population of 3,500
Quechua inhabitants, it is known for its two pre-Inca temples dedicated to
the earth's fertility. Built on different hills, these places are sacred and
ceremonial rituals are still practiced by "Andean Yatiris"
there. Amantani's range of magnetic field is unusual, and the residents
renowned for their gentleness. You can be strolling the streets to get a
sense of their culture. There are plenty of opportunities to purchase their
woven textiles, pottery and straw baskets. Then we will come back to Puno,
transfer to your hotel. (L)
