Lares Trek and Biking around Andean Communities of Sacred Valley (opens in a new tab)

The name Uros was used to name a very particular ethnic group that coexisted in lake Titicaca with the Incas, Aymaras and possibly with older civilizations. In fact, it is believed that the Uros were one of the first ethnic groups populating the Andean region. These people were simple fishers and bird hunters and preferred to remain isolated from the more advanced civilizations. Their search for isolation may be one reason why they decided to live in mobile houses on the lake.
