Local people built islands out of reeds growing on the lake. These islands are inhabited by descendants of immigrants from the Uros tribe, who remain faithful to the traditions and customs of their ancestors both in clothing and in lifestyle. The boats they use for swimming and fishing are striking in their durability. Some of them are several centuries old. The rotted reed is replaced with a new one, which is cut right here in the lake. You can swim on reed boats with Urosh on the straw islands and get incomparable impressions from this breathtaking voyage and feel like a new Heyerdahl.
