.... the Uros reed islands. We visit the Uros-folk, who even nowadays live on those islands.

On Taquile-Island in the middle of Lake Titicaca you find knitting men!

Traditional Coca-Tea is commonly appreciated and is said to be beneficial with discomforts due to the altitude.

The majestic Condor – king of the skies and frequently spotted in the Andes (with a little luck....)
