$Uros Islands, Lake Titicaca, Peru - April 21, 2022; The floating islands of Uros are located in Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake, close to Puno at 3.812 metres above sea level. These floating islands are made out of reed which is an aquatic plant that grows on the surface of the Lake Titicaca.\n\n\nThe Uros are believed to be direct descendants of the first inhabitants of Lake Titicaca. The community has lived on the floating islands for decades. According to history, the pre-Inca community of the Uros was forced to build their floating houses when the Inca Empire expanded their lands and expelled them. Consequently, the people of Uros didn’t want to fight, they just wanted to live in peace. Therefore they decided to retreat to the lake to protect themselves from aggressive Incas and other invading groups. If a threat arose, the Uros could move their islands to another safe part of the Lake. In this form they have maintained their lifestyle for hundreds of years,$
