Summary

The Uros community inhabits small islands on Lake Titicaca and have done so for hundreds of years for the inhabitant had to learn to harvest the totora, then gather them in large quantities, join them by the root and thus shape their small islands as if they were platforms. These villagers are also known as the children of the mama cocha which means mother lake, because they have to maintain their islands daily, adding new layers of “Totora” (lake plant), also their homes and boats are made of the same plant.
