Pick-up from your hotel in Puno around 9am, from where we will go to the port in Puno and then climb aboard a motorboat.
We will take a beautiful motorboat journey (30 min.) amongst the reeds, we arrive to Uros, an archipelago of more than 60 man-made floating islands inhabited by the Uros, an ethnic group of fishermen, part of an ancestral group.
Very few is known about their origins, a tradition tells that when an Inca king asked; Who are you? They answered “We are the first inhabitants on earth and have black blood”.
In the colonial time they tried to live away the white man contact, but in the last decades they have made a more fluid contact with the main land culture, but still have bird’s hunting and fishing as their main activities.
