This is the reed Island, all the houses are built on floating reed, awesome. It was feature in the Railey, believe or not show.

This place that I visited is awesome and amazing. Imagaine the people who live on water and built their houses on the reed is so cool. Basically, why they choose to live here is to avoid paying taxes and during the early days is to escape from the enemies (Incra people) who are trying to attack them. Look at the boat and houses they are all made out of reed plant that grew on the lake. Lake Titikaka is one of the Largest lake in the world and is the highest lake in the world. It stretches all the way to Bolivia, thus the lake are share by 2 countries. We went to stay in the homestay and it was quite an exprience for us, as everything in the homestay are very basic and simple. They do not have electricity, and it gets very cold to freezing point. I had to cover myself with blanket most of the time. It can be quite tortouting, but on the whole it was fro the exprience that we went for. Especailly, the fiesta in the night, where we get to dressed up in the local costumes and dance with the local with their kind of music. Fun.
