Sailing boat collecting totora reeds (Schoenoplectus californicus ssp. tatora), Mt Huayna Potosí in background, Inner Lake, Lake Titicaca, Bolivia
Totora reeds grow in most shallow areas of Lake Titicaca and are regularly harvested for many uses including occasionally animal feed, making household items and souvenirs and building reed boats and houses (these less so now than in the past).
