The colour and smell keep the chickens from wandering off
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.
The guesthouse we stayed at in Arequipa had a marvellous rooftop terrace upon which we spent many hours basking in the sunshine and gazing out toward the conical volcano El Misti, towering high above everything. The majesty of this mountain is here contrasted by brightly colored laundry hanging from lines above the neighbouring residence.
