Locall people live on floating islands made of grass. The Uros tribe on Lake Titicaca makes man-made islands from reeds and puts straw huts on them. The Indians live on the islands all year round, slowly moving along the shore. Peruvians also love tree houses. In the jungle, Indians have built such huts in the crowns since time immemorial to escape floods, attacks by predators, or warriors from neighboring tribes. Today, the country has entire tourist villages made of houses built above the ground. |
