Santiago De Okola is a small community on the shore of Lake Titicaca. The town is currently working with an organization called La Paz On Foot run by an American named Steve (who is married to a Bolivian). The organization is trying to promote biodiversity and ecotourism in Santiago De Okola. The community is mainly an agricultural and fishing community; they keep all the food for themselves unless they need money. A lot of the youth is moving to La Paz, which is similar to a lot of youth all over Bolivia. Santiago De Okola is a Aymaran community; they speak little Spanish and most of the members are very shy. The houses are simple adobe houses with dirt floors and straw roofs.
