Uros are a pre-Incan people that live on forty-two self-fashioned floating man-made islets in Lake Titicaca Puno, Peru and Bolivia. The Uros use the totora plant to make boats (balsas mats) of bundled dried reeds, and to make the islands themselves. The purpose of the island settlements was originally defensive, and if a threat arose they could be moved. (photo)
