create the conditions that ensure the islands stay
afloat. The dense roots that the plants develop support
the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses are
extremely humid because of the surrounding water. At
present they speak Quechua and Aymara. We will visit 3
different floating islands and we will board the “Totora
