The boat sailed first to the floating islands of the Uro, a group of people who live in the lake and use "Totora" as a basic resource."Totora" is a kind of aquatic plant (According to my dictionary it is called "Cat's tail" or "red mace" in English) The base of the islands are blocks of "totora" roots, which float, and then they cover it with totora leaves, and everything has to be tied and anchored to wooden masts . Then they build the huts on the island. Nowadays, they also have a primary school and a health center.
