Did you guys travel to Peru from India? My friends and I are planning a visit to Macchu Picchu. Trying to figure out how much it will cost on a day to day basis there. Hi!

I don't think they have many other options when living in the middle of a lake! I am happy for them in that sense. I guess over all it is positive that they manage to make a living with tourism..

I am quite torn whether to be happy or disturbed about their floating situation. I hope the tourist boost in the floating islands give a source of living to the inhabitants there.

There's some ladies receiving the incoming boats of tourists singing traditional songs, for example, but you can tell they are doing it in such a mechanic "I'd rather be doing something else" way. Also... you pay to get there / to get around. I wonder how the money is distributed in the community. In any case, this is what happens during day trips to the main islands. I bet people who stay over night doing a homestay in smaller islands do get to experience the islands and people in a significantly different way.. probably way more real.

I haven't been there and I cannot really tell because I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but it's a shame that these places have become so touristic if they lost they originality of course and just became a commercial hub, is that the case for the main island in Uros?
