Uros People

The Uros People are an indigenous group living on floating islands made from totora reeds in Lake Titicaca, located between Peru and Bolivia. They have historically relied on these reed islands for shelter and transportation, creating a unique, sustainable way of life. The Uros are known for their distinct culture, traditional crafts, and vibrant communities built atop the floating islands. Despite modernization, they continue to preserve their customs, language, and traditions, serving as an important cultural symbol and popular attraction for visitors interested in their innovative adaptation to the lake environment.
