The floating islands of the Uros are located on Lake Titicaca, approximately 30 minutes from the main port of the city of Puno. The floating islands of the Uros are built from totora, a kind of reed that grows in the highest navigable lake in the world. The men and women weave the reeds to create the floating soil of the islands and build beautiful homes on them where many tourists carry out rural tourism and seek to learn more about the Aymara people. The main economic activity of the Ureños is based on fishing and handicrafts.
