The Uros people of Lake Titicaca still live on their traditional reed islands afloat on the lake. While they still build and use reed boats, they do avail themselves of more modern craft for trips into the city. All families on the islands contribute to the care and maintenance of their island home. Failure to keep up your part of the community could see you floating off on your own as the rest of the islanders saw through the thick mat to set you free.
