The floating islands of Uros are located inside the bay of Lake Titikaka only 14 Km. (9 miles) away from the city (20 to 30 minutes of navigation). The name UROS was used to name a very particular ethnic group that co-existed in lake Titicaca with the Inkas, Aymaras and possibly with older civilizations. In fact, it is believed that the Uros were one of the first ethnic groups populating the Andean region. These people were simple fishers and bird hunters and preferred to remain isolated from the more advanced civilizations.
