Portrait of a smiling local Uru woman in a totora reed floating island, Uros Floating Islands, Lake Titicaca, Uros, Peru. The Uru use bundles of dried Totora reeds to make reed boats (balsas), and to make the islands themselves. The larger islands house about ten families, while smaller ones, only about thirty meters wide, house only two or three families.
