the Titikaka lake.
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 we will visit the Taquile island, where we will have
lunch in the cooperative restaurant. There is also a
cooperative shop on the plaza that sells exceptional wool
goods which are of very fine quality and somewhat expensive.
Taquile Island is famous for its craft production,
particularly for its beautiful textiles. The island is
narrow at about 1 Km. wide and 6 to 7 Km. long. The visit
could be exhausting because of the 533 steps on the stone
stairway to climb to get to the village and because of the
altitude (13,000 ft above sea level). On Taquile there are
numerous pre-Inca and Inca ruins as well as Inca terracing.
We will return in Puno in the afternoon, overnight at the
Qelqatani Hotel or similar. (B,L)
