I nā malihini i ka moanaʻo Titicaca, he huakaʻi ka holoʻana i nā moku mokulele, he wahi mākaʻikaʻi kūikawā. Hāʻawiʻia kēia mau mokupuni a hana houʻia mai nā koina o ke kokora e hāʻawi ana i ka home, ka mea ola a me ka halihaliʻana no ka poʻe noho. Ma kahi oʻelua hola o ka holoʻana mai Puno , ma kaʻaoʻao o ka moanaʻo Peruvian,ʻo ka nui o nā mokupuni he 40 aʻoi aku ka palena nui loa o Santa Maria. Eʻike i ka palapala 'āina e hōʻike ana i kahi o ka mokupuni o Uros a me ka moku Taquile mai Puno, Peru.
ʻO kēia mau mokulele mokulele ka home o kaʻohana'Uro, kahi i hala mua i ka nohona Incan. Wahi a kā lākou mau moʻolelo, aia nō lākou i mua o ka lā, i ka wā e pouli a me ka anuanu o ka honua. Ua hopohopoʻole lākou i ka hoʻomaha a iʻole i ka uila. Ua lilo ko lākou kūlana ma keʻano he mau mea nui loa i ka wā e hōʻole ai lākou i nā kauoha āpau a hui pū me nā kānaka, e lilo ana i mea kūpono i ka hoʻowahāwahā. Ua hele liʻiliʻi lākou, a nele i kaʻike, ka'ōlelo, a me nā loina. Ua lilo lākou i Uro-Aymaras, a ke haʻi neiʻo'Admara. Ma muli o ko lākouʻano maʻalahi a paʻakikī, ua manaʻo nā Incas he waiwai liʻiliʻi lākou a no laila uaʻauhau nui loa lākou. Akā,ʻo ka Uros, me ko lākou mau hale papahana i hoʻopuka i nā mea mana nui o Incas me ko lākou mau hale pōhaku nui a me ko lākou mau kuahiwi.
ʻO ka totora ka hopena e ulu ana ma ka moana. Ke kākoʻo nei kona mau aʻa pakiaka i ka papa luna, e'ōwili ai a pono e hoʻololi houʻia ma ke kauʻana i nā hou i luna o ka papa ma lalo.
Ke loli nei nā mokupuni i ka nui, aʻoi aku ka nui o nā mokupuni i ka wā e kū ana ka hemahema. ʻO ka mokupuni nui loa i kēia manawaʻo Tribuna. ʻO kaʻilikai o nā mokupuni he lapa a me ka lahilahi, aʻo kekahi e manaʻo ana e holoholo ma luna o ka holoholoʻana ma luna o ka wai. Hikiʻole i ka meaʻikeʻole ke hoʻomaopopo i kahi wahiʻeleʻele a hoʻokuʻu i kahi wāwae aʻoi aʻe paha i loko o ka wai maloʻo o ke kai.
ʻO nā mokupuni he māhele ia o ka Reserve National Reserve o Titicaca , i hanaʻia ma ka makahiki 1978 e mālama i 37,000 heketa o nā māla marsh ma ke kūkulu hema a me nā'āpana'ākau o Lake Titicaca. Ua māheleʻia ka māhele i nā'āpanaʻelua,ʻo Ramis , ma nā panalāʻauʻo Huancané a me Ramis; a me Puno , ma ka moku'āina o ka inoa hoʻokahi. Aia nā mālama'āina i 60 mauʻano o nā manu maoli, nāʻohana iʻaʻehā a me nāʻano amphibians 18. Aiaʻekolu mokupuni ma ka moana, Huaca Huacani, Toranipata a me Santa María.
Ua paleʻia nā mokupuniʻauheʻe ma loko o ka Bay of Puno a he home i 2000 aʻo Uros paha, ka mea e'ōlelo ana he "kokoʻeleʻele" ka mea i pale i ke anuanu. Kapa lākou iā lākou iho he poʻe lūlū,ʻo ka poʻe paha o ka moana, a noʻonoʻo iā lākou iho nā mea nona ka moana a me kona wai. Ke ola nei lākou i ka lawaiʻa, ka ulana a me keʻano o ka hoʻolālā. Loaʻa lākou i nā iʻa no lākou iho a kūʻai aku ma ka'āina. Hāʻalo lākou i nā manu āpau a me nā kēpau no nā hua a me kaʻai. ʻO keʻano, inā e emi iho ke kiʻekiʻe o ke kai, hiki iā lākou ke kanu i kaʻuala ma ka lepo i hanaʻia e nā'ōpala palaho, akā, heʻano maʻamau,ʻaʻole lākou i mahiʻai. ʻO nā moku o kaʻohe i loaʻa i ka wā he mea holoholona a iʻole keʻano paha i ka pila a he puna kiʻi punahele paha ia.
ʻO nā poʻe noho o ka mokupuniʻo Uros e kūkulu i ko lākou mau hale mai nā lau. ʻO nā kaupaku he waiʻole akāʻaʻole kūpono i ka hoʻonāukiuki. Hoʻokumuʻia nā ahi ahi ma kahi papa pōhaku e pale ai i nāʻohe. Noho ka poʻe noho i nā kapa o ka lole, ka nui o nā hulu, no ka paleʻana iā lākou iho mai ke anuanu, ka makani, a me ka lā e hiki ai ke kukuna nui i kēia kiʻekiʻe. He nui nā wāhine e hoʻokau mau nei i ka pāpale a me ka hōʻailona piha.
E kaomi i lalo no nā kiʻi nui o Uros, PeruʻO ka mokupuni pae'āinaʻo Lake Titicaca e hōʻike nei i nā hiʻohiʻona o ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā.
Hāʻawi nā kānaka i kā lākou mau pepa lima no ke kūʻaiʻana i nā malihini kipa hiki ke kali i kahi kūʻai paʻakikī.
E nānā i kēia papa inoa o Puno a me nā wahi hokele no ka loaʻa, nā loina, nā pono, kahi, nā hana a me nāʻike kūikawā.
No ka kipaʻana i nā mokupuni'auwaʻa, e nānā i nā moku mai nā palena a hiki iā Lima a me nā wahi'ē aʻe ma Peru.
Hiki iāʻoe ke huli no nā hokele a me nā hoʻokele kaʻa.
Ināʻoe i nā moku mokulele o Lake Titicaca, e hōʻike i kou mauʻike, a me kāu mau kiʻi, me mākou maʻAmelika Hema no nā'Akaʻikaʻi.
Buen viaje!
