There, we'll learn about their customs and traditions, and we'll have the pleasure of dressing like the people of the Uros Islands. We'll also visit the capital of this community, where you can also try the local bread. After that, we will venture into the center of Lake Titicaca and there we will make a payment to the Mamacocha so that she will welcome us and allow us to enter the wonderful lake with peace of mind.
