The dense roots that the plants develop support the island. The roofs are waterproof and the houses are extremely humid because of the surrounding water. At present, they speak Quechua and Aymara.

The visit could be exhausting because of the 533 steps on the stone stairs to climb to get to the village and because of the altitude (13,000 ft above sea level).
