Islas Flotantes, Peru

After Discover channel insight, 7 months later I visited the famous floating islands. Unofortunatly the Uros people which initially created the floating islands to avoid losing their heritage have become completly commercialised towards tourists. Its still amazing to see….i mean its a maze of floating islands and each little tiny island takes a year to make.
Aint no moter like a human motor;
Check out the locals fishing;
After i watched a kids parade in Puno.
I went out in chilling Puno 3 nigts in a row and although i started each of the nights solo it was not long before i got chatting to some locals. I have to say, the Peruvians are very friendly people and i went to the lively local nightclub "Domino" which had practically no tourists which was great to see. Although you know its a bad sign when the porter has your room key ready and waiting for your arrival.
