These ancient inhabitants of the lake, known as the Water Tribe, they have built their own "islands" by periodically adding new layers of a type of reed unique to the area called "Totora". Their homes and boats are also made of this material. A study of the genetic structure of the Quechua and Aymara groups of lake Titicaca has found that today's UROS people preserve part of the original gene of ancient UROS (PhD Fujita and Sandoval, 2002, today thanks to the visitors the young Uros have an opportunity to study in high schools and University.

Taquile Island,  inhabited by Quechua-speaking natives who have developed efficient and unique social systems, as well as fine hand weaving techniques, down through the generations.  Taquile is place where the time has stopped.
