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.
