A few of such settlements can be found floating in Lake Titicaca in Peru. Actually there is a few of dozens of them and the more bizarre thing is that some of those floating islands are inhabited by people who live in a very similar way of life their ancestors did for hundreds of years.
Those floating islands are made by Uros people in Inca times. Islands are inhabited by Uros tribe and they are living there even in present. They never decided to move to solid ground and they kept their traditional way of life for hundreds of years.
Only a few of those settlements are allowed to be visited by tourists because of efforts to prevent the interaction between Uros tribe people and modern people in order to keep their customs and tradition unchanged.
