Puno, Floating Islands and Tequila Island - Lake Titicaca - Peru

Maybe ruined some what by tourists, but the floating islands still illustrate the extreme places people can exist in and the simplicity in which it is possible to survive.  The beautiful outfits always caught my eye and I could not help but snap every different color that flashed passed me.  Families living together on hand-made floating reed island which need constant attention due to extreme weather conditions and the materials used.  Simplicity and beauty are the main words to describe the islands, environments, people and way of living.  
A trip to Tequila Island then followed, similar to the Inca island of Isla dol Sol, small communities exist through farming, fishing and tourists.  Truely unique islands with incredible people.

Salar de Uyuni..Bolivia

Out on the vast land of salt and water, reflections blend between what is reality and what becomes a dream.  Things become lost and the eye is turned upside down.  The mind becomes confused, what is right and what is wrong? what is true what is a lie?!
