Wondering to thanks our guide Samuel (tour operator Inka Lake) for an excellent tour over the Uros Community and Titicaca Lake in March 2020. Samuel’s ability to give us very detailed answers on all our questions, his familiarity with traditions of the region, its history, geography, ethnography, flora, and fauna let us build a great colorful picture of Titikaka and it’s people. Again, please take BIG THANK YOU from all of us
