It's not every day you come across a community living on floating islands. Lake Titicaca, set in between the border of Peru and Bolivia, is the world's highest lake but not only that - its the birthplace of the Inca Manco Capac. The 85 or so floating islands inhabitants include the Uros people, and the islands are mainly constructed by reeds. It is a fascinating way of life, with a culture completely unique to Peru's ancient traditions and history.

Relaxing, low stress and able to see everything you needed to for a half day lake tour, We opted out of the ride back and strolled the local shops and had an easy walk back to our hotel.
The families where nice on Uros Island, didn't quite buy into the stories of them living there all the time, this seemed quite touristy and another selling opportunity.
Staff was great, low key.
