Peru

Villages on floating islands made of packed reeds. Really cool to walk on them. Very cushy, spongy.

They take the root ball of the cattail reeds and large bales of dried reeds to use as floats/anchors of the islands. They then fill in the top with a layer of dry reeds. As the reed layer rots and sinks, they pile on another layer on top.

These people only recently have electric power on these islands. Everything is solar powered.
