One unique experience which will transport you to the past of the Incas civilization exists at the Titicaca Lake in Puno. Their inhabitants still have millenary costumes related to their everyday work and living chores, they still dress the same way. They are so isolated so as not to receive influence of today's world. Time in that sense seems to be stopped. The Uros people live on floating islands made of Totora canes common on the lake. They, the same as Taquile's island inhabitants, not know about electricity, no light bulbs, no phones, and of course "no computers". Light comes as always has from The Sun and the Moon, no need for more. But how can these people leave? You may ask. The answer is quite simple. Just doing what centuries have taught them to do. Indeed a very good teacher.
For visiting these people we'll need to navigate four hours on the highest lake of the world, 13300 feet above sea level. The Uros islands are flat. The Taquile island are not flat, a 400 steps stone made stairway will receive us. Then on the top, a magnificent landscape of the lake will be our reward. |
