Lago Titicaca, the sacred lake of the plateau in the eyes of Indians, has been singing gently for thousands of years beside the small city of Puno and in the wind of the plateau. Legend has it that the mysterious leader, Manco & Kapak, came from the center of Lake Titicaca to create the Inca Empire. Starting early in the morning in a speedboat from Puno, the magical floating island (Islas Flotantes de Los Uros) can be reached in about 45 minutes. The islands floating on the lake are woven by a reed called "Totora". The magic of nature lies in the fact that the weakest reeds can withstand the storms and waves, achieve strong shelters, and preserve the living fossil life style of the Aymara residents. As Pascal said - "Man is only a reed grass, the most vulnerable thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed..." It is also a knowledge to watch naive children hopping barefoot over thick Pu tufts and even to peel and eat fresh-picked reeds directly. Say goodbye to the magical floating island and head for another Isla Taquile, an absolutely independent island. Almost 4000 meters above sea level, there are more than 2000 Kechua people living on the island. Tachili Island was known as "Intika" during the Inca Empire, and the islanders still keep the admonition of "Don't steal, don't lie, don't be lazy" during the Inca Empire, and retain the simple folk custom. When we arrived here, the simple villagers with bright smiles played folk music and danced for us. In spite of the great kindness, I also did a lot of dancing..... The islands at an altitude of 4 kilometers testify to me - travel, let me meet rich and colorful distances and more open myself.
