Uros II

The Uros are a pre-Incan people who live on forty-two self-fashioned floating islands in Lake Titicaca near Puno (Peru).

The Uros Islands are made of reeds which grow naturally on the banks of Lake. The reeds are matted down and added to as they disintegrate at the bottom. The islands float on the surface of the lake. The reeds used to make their island, homes, boats, etc. are called totora.

Remarkable use of color and composition!
