The Floating Island of Uros

These are the natives of the floating island of Uros. It's basically an island made of reeds that the natives built over the centuries to live on far from the elements of the land (invading peoples.

Now it's a tourist hotspot where the natives have resorted to selling trinkets and tricking tourists into spending their money.

Have you been to Uros?

I was there 15 years ago, the startling thing about that place was just how blue the sky is, incredible.

The whole place is like someone put an Instagram filter over the top. Nice to see it's still floating :O)

I remember going to an island on Titicaca, with a huge steep climb of stairs, already at altitude, they used to tie bracelets on you knowing full well you don't have enough breath to argue :O) Beautiful country.

Thanks for sharing.
