Floating village on Lake Titicaca is Amazing
Lake Titicaca and Plant Reeds
Lake Titicaca is located at an altitude of about 3820 m above sea level, is the highest lake in the world that can be passed by the ship. The lake that forms a natural border between Bolivia and Peru has a latitude north-south along the 190 km by 80 km along the widest side, as well as the surface area of approximately 8300 km2. The average depth of about 100 m, the deepest point of about 280 m. According to legend, the Incas came from the dalamannya.
In the middle of the lake, there are several floating islands inhabited by a tribe of Uro. They live from fishing, hunting birds and of course the water reeds (Totora). Later, they also live from tourism that is slowly changing the local culture, including the results of their craft.
Reed is a very important element for the tribe Uro, even those who live on floating islands made of stacks of dried reeds. Basic floating islands are slowly going to rot at the base of the water. In order not to sink, the occupants of the new reeds piled on top of it, and so on. Walking on the island is an experience in itself, especially for us who are familiar with a stable base.
In addition to the island, boats and their shanties made entirely of reeds. Suspected tribal Uro form a community in the middle of the lake to break free from the influence of the Incas. But the descendants of the tribe Uro now, most have a mixture with other tribes such as the Aymara and Inca.

Beautiful The Seychelles Islands
Due to various influences from both western European and African traditions, the culture of Seychelles is diverse. Although British and French colonial influences can basically be traced in the educational method, architecture, language and some social practices, the Seychellois society has still preserved numerous elements from the African culture (the most notable example being the fact that the island's society is matriarchal). This mix or races, cultures and religions has also lead to the apparition of some new musical genres Seychellois music is widely acclaimed for the elegant manner in which it manages to harmonize the French pop with African drums or European society dances with Polynesian instruments.
Despite the islands' isolation, Seychelles tourism is on an ascending path: the island's superb nature and warm climate all year round have determined plenty of hotel chains to open their luxury hotels here, which are now enjoying a constant flow of tourists. The abundance of beaches can also transform a trip to Seychelles in to a close encounter with the clear waters of the Indian beaches as well as a quantity of the most finest sands in the world. Activities on the island vary in accordance to the seasons: the dry season (which coincides with the European summer), is better for sailing, hiking and surfing, while the hot and humid season (European winter) invites for swimming, sun bathing and scuba diving.
Just as I said above, the stunning nature represents Seychelles' greatest asset. Shady palm woods & maroon granite formation are the most representative geographic features on the large majority of Seychelles' islands. The exotic beauty of the island's most renowned national park, Vallee de Mai, is exceptional. Hosting unique species like the mythical Coco del Mer or the rare Black Parrot, Vallee de Mai is in fact an ancient palm forest, home to numerous species of birds, insects & tropical plants.
But the secret treasure of Seychelles is represented by the Aldabra natural reserve, a not very available atoll of inestimable scientific value. Its long isolation has helped Aldabra to preserve some wonderful ecosystems, which are now being studied by teams of scientists from all the corners of the world. Although the visitors access to Aldabra is partially restricted and closely monitored (actually, the whole archipelago has strict policies in what concerns nature preservation), Aldabra represents a unique chance to observe not only life forms that have been existed in other parts of th world, and also see how a coral reef slowly emerges from the ocean.
