El Sr. Escobar seal que las autoridades peruanas haban cedido parte de los territorios ancestrales de los uros y que las ciudades y las actividades mineras de las zonas aledaas estaban causando la contaminacin del lago Titicaca, con la consiguiente destruccin de los recursos naturales de los que dependen los uros.

Mr. Escobar pointed out that the Peruvian authorities had given away part of their ancestral territories and the towns and mining activities developed were now causing contamination of Lake Titicaca, with a consequent depletion of the natural resources on which the Uro depend. The inhabitants of Uros tell that the reed is a plant sent by gods, as with it they build their islands, their houses, their handicrafts, and the rafts for fishing and tours. El Castillo Cave has one of Europe's largest ensembles of prehistoric art: 275 figures (bison, wild bulls, a mammoth, references to the human form&), proof of the presence of Homo sapiens, and more exciting still, evidence of the beginnings of art in mankind. The other favourite area for the culture of the grapevine is the geographic centre of the island, place in which grapes used in the elaboration of wines from the DO Binissalem are cultivated.

2.- TAQUILE:

ESPAOL

Taquile es una de las islas ms hermosas del lago, en la que constrastan el rojo del suelo con el azul profundo del agua. Taquile es una isla especial porque sus tradiciones y costumbres se han mantenido intactas a lo largo del tiempo,. Sus ropas por ejemplo son diferentes a la de la poblacin de Uros, y en lugar de vivos colores, los hombres y mujeres de Taquile se visten predominantemente de negro y rojo. El Taquile y su arte textil recibieron esta distincin en 2005. La isla de Taquile es cuna de un emprendimiento de turismo vivencial pionero en el Per. Por ejemplo: clases de tejido con los pobladores de la isla de Taquile, observacin de flora y fauna con un poblador de la localidad, pesca en caballitos de totora, paseos en llama.Como sucede en Taquile, el textil tradicional de aqu es una verdadera maravilla, que se puede reconocer en sus distintas etapas de produccin. Taquile, Suasi y Amantan son conocidas por la amabilidad de sus moradores y por sus ancestrales tcnicas de tejido, sus construcciones precolombinas y maravillosos paisajes. Aunque el diseo del arte textil de Taquile ha introducido nuevos smbolos e imgenes contemporneas, an se mantienen el estilo y las tcnicas tradicionales. En la actualidad, Taquile se resiste a la influencia cultural extranjera, y la preocupacin de los isleos es el manejo adecuado de esta actividad que se ha convertido en su principal fuente de ingresos. En la isla Taquile se habla Quecha, hay muchas terrazas agriculturales antiguas y ruinas que datan de tiempos pre-incas. El proyecto turstico de Amantan surge posteriormente al de Taquile, por tanto, aprende de este sus aciertos. La tradicin de tejer en la isla de Taquile se remonta a las antiguas civilizaciones inca, pukara y colla, por lo que mantiene vivos ciertos elementos de las culturas andinas prehispnicas. La isla de Taquile se encuentra en la provincia de Puno, distrito de Amantan, a 35 km del puerto, en el llamado Lago Mayor. Taquile tiene una escuela especializada para aprender la artesana local, lo que contribuye a la viabilidad y a la continuidad de la tradicin. El lago tiene 36 islas, entre las ms importantes se encuentran las de Taquile y Amantani, en territorio peruano, y las islas del Sol y de la Luna en aguas bolivianas.

Taquile is one of the most beautiful islands found in the lake, its red earth contrasting with the deep blue of the water.It is an exceptional island because a lot of the old traditions and customs have been maintained over the years.

On the Uros islands you can see brightly coloured fabrics but the men and women of Taquile wear a lot of black and red.Le Taquile et son art textile ont reu cette distinction en 2005. The island of Taquile is the crib of experienced-based tourism in Peru. For example: knitting classes with the dwellers of the Taquile island, flora and fauna watching with a local inhabitant, fishing on totora reed boats, riding llamas. Just as in Taquile, traditional textiles here are also a true wonder in which the diverse stages of production can be recognized. Taquile, Suasi, and Amantan are knows for their kindness of their residents, their ancestral skill in weaving, their pre-Columbian constructions, and lovely countryside Although new, contemporary symbols and images have been introduced into Taquile textile art, the traditional style and techniques have been maintained.

Taquile Island is a Quechua speaking community, full of ancient agricultural terraces and even some ruins that date back to Pre-Incan times.

La poblacin de Taquile ha crecido considerablemente a lo largo de las ltimas dcadas, lo que ha originado una escasez de recursos y la necesidad de importar cada vez ms productos del continente. Adems del turismo, los habitantes de Taquile viven de la pesca y de los pocos cultivos que se pueden recolectar en la isla. El tour tradicional del FD Uros Taquile se presenta por momentos saturado por las constantes visitas en la maana camino a la Isla de Taquile, Amantani y Suasi .
