The Uru tribe inhabits 42 floating islands on Lake Titicaca, situated at the border of Peru and Bolivia. Remarkably, the Urus constructed these islands using cane, a versatile material that also serves as the foundation for their fishing boats.

Despite being remote and far from traditional civilization, these cane islands are equipped with modern conveniences, including solar panels that provide electricity, allowing the community to enjoy television. This blend of ancient traditions and contemporary technology showcases the resilience and adaptability of the Uru people.
