The dense roots that the plants develop support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses are extremely humid because of the surrounding water. At present they speak Quechua and Aymara. We will visit 3 different floating islands and we will board the “Totora Boats”, after this tour we will continue our trip and we will arrive to Llachon Peninsula.
