Floating Islands

I'm in Chile for the semester finishing up my International Minor in Engineering (Latin America) by taking classes on Latin America's culture, music, history, etc. I'm also rapidly becoming more fluent in Spanish!

Floating Islands

Since we were in Puno, we had to go see the floating islands. I enjoyed the trip as it was cheap, and I learned a fair amount (culture of the islands, how they make the islands, etc.). After our tour we had a few hours to kill, so we wandered a bit around the city. I found out that in Puno trees in weird shapes is just as popular as in Arequipa. It must be a Peruvian thing.

You get what you pay for. No shower, no toilet paper, but rather comfy beds, all for the low price of 15 soles.
