Fishermen and hunters inhabit the Uros floating village of Lake Titicaca. The residents of the Uros use the cattail, a type of rush, which grows in the lake, to create the conditions that ensure the islands stay afloat. 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.

There is also a cooperative shop on the plaza that sells exceptional wool goods which are of very fine quality and somewhat expensive. Taquile Island is famous for its craft production, particularly for its beautiful textiles. The island is narrow at about 1 Km. wide and 6 to 7 Km. long. The visit could be exhausting because of the 533 steps on the stone stairway to climb to get to the village and because of the altitude (13,000 ft above sea level).

¿What to pack?

Considering the weather in Perú, we have put together our definitive list of what to pack for a trip to Cusco, Machu Picchu and Puno:

• A good pair of hiking boots or walking shoes.
• A poncho for those downpours. The weather changes very quickly here.
• A warm jacket. Afternoons and mornings can be very cold, especially between June and September.
• Good quality sunscreen and sun hat.
• Bring clothing that you can overlap. Warm layers and pants that can be unbuttoned into shorts are great. You will only need a couple of changes of clothes, as you can wash anywhere for little money.
• A backpack to carry all your things, ideally with a hip strap to make long days of hiking and exploring more comfortable.
• A bottle of water. Plastic disposal is a real problem in the Sacred Valley, so we recommend that you buy large bottles and refill the water in your own reusable bottle.
• Small first aid kit for basic cuts and bruises and stomach upset.
• A spare pair of prescription glasses or contact lenses plus a copy of your prescription is a good idea.
• A small pocket flashlight.
• Earplugs for when you are stuck in a noisy room or want to sleep on the bus or plane.
• A waterproof cover for your backpack is a must, especially if you travel during the rainy season.
• A hat, scarf and gloves for those cold mornings and afternoons.
• Pack your toiletries in zip-lock bags to avoid any unnecessary mess.
• Insect repellent, especially if you plan to trek or visit Machu Picchu.
• Camera with a lot of memory and battery for all those great photos that you will definitely want to take!
• Carry enough locks to store your important belongings, even in your hotel room.
