On-time pick up from hotel in Puno and smooth boarding onto boat. The Uros people gave an interesting presentation on how they lay the reeds on the islands. The guide translated to English. The families on the islands are friendly and keen to show their homes and handicrafts. There is pressure to buy handicrafts quite expensive and the ride on the matrimonial boat is extra cost but compulsory! The young women sang songs as we left. There is plenty of time to wander around and see the buildings, cooking arrangements, fish pond where fresh fish are kept until needed for food. I certainly recommend this tour - these floating islands are fascinating and unique.
