Uru people

Culture Active 964 CE – 2215 CE

The Uru or Uros are an indigenous people of Peru and Bolivia.

They live on on forty-two self-fashioned floating islands in Lake Titicaca near Puno.

They form three main groups: Uru-Chipayas, Uru-Muratos and the Uru-Iruitos.

The latter are still located on the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca and Desaguadero River.
