Customer Reviews
A wonderful island. They gave us a 30 minute presentation on how the island was built. The textiles they make and hiw the hunt. Then we got a ride on a balsa boat for 10 minutes.
The travel agency arranges the trip to the floating islands. The island is assigned each time. I guess the government wants everyone has a chance to make money. I doubt you can visit the island by yourself. The people will start with illustration how they cut the grass roots and grass to build the floating platform. Then they build simple houses on top of the platform. There are at least hundreds of floating islands. All look similar. Next they show the house they live and explain their lifestyle. Next step is to sell you souvenir they made. Then they ask if you want to ride the famous totora reed boat which is made of straw. However they don’t row the boat. They use a motor ship to push the boat. Of course it is not free. It is interesting to learn their life. On the other hand it becomes very commercial.
Very interesting place, although if you only visit on a boat trip it's a classic tourist trap. Better to stay a night on one of many hotels located on islands.
