Uro #39;s people on floating reed islands
These are the pre-Inca, Uro people that live on floating islands made completely of reeds. These islands are in lake Titicaca in Peru at over 12000 feet. From the island itself to their houses to their boats, everything is made entirely of reeds and rope. Historically they have survived off of fish and most recently other supplies they get from the mainland city of Puno. There are at least 50 islands and a population of about 2000. They have lived on these islands for over 500 years and survived major wars and the Spanish conquistadors.From:gullatine1Views:0 0ratingsTime:01:12More inPeople Blogs
