Those who taught geography at school, had to remember South American lake with the funny name. Here are just a hardly geography lessons told about the Uros tribe living on this mountain lake.
Moreover, the Indians literally live on the lake. For centuries, because of the small numbers, the Uros tribe was forced to avoid collisions with other, more numerical and aggressive tribes. To do this, they began to build a cane Totoro real floating islands, the thickness of which reaches two meters. Anyway, this cane is an inherent part of their life. They treat cuts, relieve a hangover and brewed his tea stems. Floating Islands are home to about two thousand Indians. And if before all the income was from the tribe of fishing and weaving, but now it added another and tourism. Recall that Lake Titicaca is situated in the Andes at an altitude of 3811 meters above sea level on the border of Peru and Bolivia.
