点评:There are approximately 120 floating islands, individually built by the families who inhabit them, you will visit one that the trip organiser has links to.
Built from the locally grown Totora Reeds, this is a surreal expeience when you leave your boat and step onto the island - it moves with the water beneath your feet. We visited Condor Manuel where the family provided an explanation of how they build the islands. There is an overpowering smell of damp reeds here due to the stucture of the islands. After which they try to sell you craft items!
We purchased a colourful embroidery, on the island - however a word of warning - think how you will display such items on your return home. We wanted ours framed but the local framer refused to touch it as he couldn't stretch it without damaging it. So we hung it like a tapestry, between 2 rods, but the sides are wavy, we can live with this but would this be an issue to you?
After we were taken to an island with a "hostel" and a couple fo local shops, all very commercial.
Worth the experience though.
翻译:这里大约有120座漂浮岛屿,每座岛屿都由岛上的居民家庭独立建造。您将参观其中一个,旅行组织者与该岛屿有联系。
这些岛屿由当地种植的托托拉芦苇建造而成,当您离开船只踏上岛屿时,会感受到一种超现实的体验——岛屿会随着脚下的水流而移动。我们拜访了康多尔·曼努埃尔岛,岛上的居民向我们讲解了他们建造岛屿的方法。由于岛屿的特殊结构,这里弥漫着浓郁的潮湿芦苇味。之后,他们会试图向您推销手工艺品!
我们在岛上买了一幅色彩鲜艳的刺绣——不过,友情提醒一下——想想您回家后该如何展示这样的物品。我们想把它装裱起来,但当地的装裱师傅拒绝接手,因为他无法在不损坏画框的情况下绷紧它。所以我们像挂毯一样把它挂在两根杆子之间,但边缘有些弯曲,我们还能接受,但您会介意吗?
我们被带到一个岛上,岛上有一家“青年旅舍”和几家当地商店,都非常商业化。
不过,这次体验还是值得的。
