Book a bed or room in a hostel in Peru via Travellerspoint.
Although the Uros - a Peruvian tribe, living on floating reed islands on Lake Titicaca - still build and maintain the traditional huge reed boats for tourist purposes, for speedy transport from place to place they themselves seem to prefer the more familiar rowboat. In the background you can see several of their reed buildings on some of these floating islands.

Stingray caught on a large live minnow, at the confluence of the Nanay and the Amazon Rivers.
Took trip from Puno to the reed islands of Los Uros. Commercialised, but what part of the planet isn't these days. Ate some reed roots (nice and slightly sweet), sailed on a reed boat (Thor Heyerdhal style) and bought a few postcards. Didn't get ROBBED at Puno bus station, surprisenly enough!!! Another great day.
