Get a flavour of Peru’s indigenous culture at the floating Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca. Meet the Uros Indians who live on ‘totora’ reed homes and continue to make their living from fishing and agriculture. The ‘chullpas’ or funerary towers at the Sillustani graves bear silent testimony to the ancient practices of the Colla warriors.
