The Uru or Uros are an indigenous people of Peru and Bolivia. They live on islands made of living reeds that float around the lake. The Uros people have been living on the lake for hundreds of years.
They were forced to take up residence on the floating islands when the Incas expanded onto their land. In the shadow of the Andes, on the worldââ¬â¢s highest navigable lake, they make their living from fishing and from selling their reed handicrafts to tourists. |
