All the travel start with the Candelaria festival and the curiosity to know the floating village.
The way to get to them is by sailing in a boat (and it's a boat owned or rented); crossing Lake Titicaca.
As you go you see the houses in the distance, they cover the beautiful landscape with yellow.
You can see the mountains behind them and them in the middle of the lake; As if the legend of Maco Cápac became true, a town emerges.
We arrive in one of the "islands" and they tell us the history of their town.
Some theories indicate that they went to live in the lake to avoid being invaded. They indicate that the totora and the roots are what keep these artificial islands afloat.
Their original language the Pukina was lost and now they adopted the Aymara.
Their way of life is traditional, fishing and crafts, but now they can see solar panels, as well as solar collectors.
The inhabitants continue living in their tradition, maintaining their culture and looking with good eyes what comes from outside them.
That's very cool. Interesting story. I know Mexico and parts of Central American had floating cities as well.
