This ingenious method allows Uros to be able to move entire islets, navigating like on a barge. The islands are small with two or three houses built on each. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Over the years the Uros population, which had a unique culture and language, naturally mixed thanks to trade with the inhabitants of the mainland. To date, in fact, even the Uros speak the Aymara language.
