The Uros is an ancient culture that inhabits a series of artificial islands built on the basis of reeds growing in the lake itself. These are constructed by weaving reed in areas where it grows thicker and thus forms a natural layer. On it they build their houses and cook outdoors in order to prevent fires.
After a tour of an hour and a half, you will continue your tour to the island of Taquile. This is, unlike the other islands in the lake speaking Aymara, Quechua speaking. It was part of the Inca empire, and you can still see remnants of that culture in its constructions. However, the Spaniards also arrived here and stripped them of their outfits forcing them to wear traditional dresses of peasants. You will receive a brief explanation about the island and will be able to walk along it until lunchtime.
After lunch you will go down the '550 steps' to return to the main port and the city of Puno.
