Imagine, waking up and then see the world float past our window, about what is happening disaster - flood or storm nightmare're crashing our homes? Or is this just anordinary day in the bed of grass floating on the lake Titicaca.
Located at an altitude of 3812 meters in the Peruvian desert, here there are 40 floatingislands.
Originally created by the Uros people of Peru from Inca era, these beautifulislands are used for escape and refuge from the war never stopped in his homeland.Uros tribe way this could really make them difficult to reach by the aggressor, andbecause it worked so well for their society for centuries, it seems there is no reason tomove to the mainland.

Carefully made by hand, this floating village composed of layers of thatch grass tortorawho put together and tied to a floating base structure, such as pontoons. The result is likea giant raft, and incredibly able to withstand heavy loads and large.
The islands are actually quite sophisticated and could be forced to be burdened, but must also be repaired periodically to maintain its strength. When the weeds start regardless of the old basic structure, just replace the weeds on the surface. Grass weeds are takencarefully from the edge of the lake Titicaca. The islands are anchored in place with ropestied to wooden poles to the bottom of the lake.
Few of the islands who want to receive visitors, which does not mean it is not goodbecause there are reports of the Uros tribe living tradition is changing rapidly due toincreasing their interaction with tourists. The inhabitants of the lake is thought of himselfas a protector of the lake and supposedly ahead of Incan civilization, and according tolegend from generation to generation, there's even before the sun, stars and moon. Nowonder they are worried about pestered by people who want to know much about them.
