Description

You will learn about one of the cultures considered to be the “pre-solar” culture or “survivors of a previous or primordial humanity”… The origin of the Uros dates back to pre-INCA times, where they were the oldest population of the Collao plateau and would have settled in this territory around the year 1200 BC. The island of Taquile was part of the Inca Empire, and some archaeological remains can be seen. This island was one of the last Inca sites that capitulated to the Spanish in the 16th century. Mother Earth (Pachamama), the main Andean deity, determines the abundance of the harvest and fertility, and to whom they offer a series of payments (offering) per year and three coca leaves before each activity or trip. God is present throughout the year at the festivities. There are several natural viewpoints that allow you to take spectacular photos of the island and Lake Titicaca.
