Watching the Uru people harvest totora reeds on Lake Titicaca! 🚤

This is how the floating islands are maintained - fresh reeds are constantly collected from the lake and transported back to reinforce the islands. It's incredible to see this traditional process that's been going on for centuries. The reeds decompose from below, so they need to be continuously replaced from above to keep the islands afloat.

The incredible floating reed islands of the Uru people on Lake Titicaca! 🚣‍♀️

These islands are completely man-made from totora reeds and have been home to Uru communities for over 500 years. The islands need constant maintenance as the bottom layers decompose, so fresh reeds are continuously added on top.

Their traditional reed boats are beautiful - some shaped like pumas or condors from Andean culture. Everything here comes from these versatile reeds, from homes to boats to the ground itself.

Visited the Uru people on Lake Titicaca! 🚤

Had the chance to meet the incredible Uru communities who have lived on floating islands made entirely from totora reeds for over 500 years. These people build their homes, boats, and even the ground beneath their feet from reeds that grow in the lake. Their colourful reed boats and way of life were pretty fascinating to see.

What an experience visiting this remarkable indigenous culture at over 3,800 metres above sea level!
