01 Approaching the floating islands - Puno, Peru

 


01 Approaching the floating islands, Puno, Peru
Indigenous peoples made floating islands out of reeds hundreds of years ago in order to escape various aggressors. To this day, they still live on these islands, with a few changes in lifestyle...now they have solar powered huts (due to the dangers associated with having candles on an island where everything is made of dried reeds). Also, a bunch of tourists walk on the island every day now.
