Fishing
in lake Titicaca is from totora reed boats, using barrage
nets (some knitted from llama wool), underwater nets and hand-knitted
straw nets. Today fishing continues to be important to lakeshore
families and on market days they sell their fish in the cities
of Puno, Juliaca and smaller towns' weekly markets. Agriculture
is mostly self-sufficiency farming; sometimes some inhabitants
take their produce to Sunday markets (K'atos) to barter (trueque)
for other products that they have not produced in the current
agricultural season.
