Some experts still go further and extend its use 5, five millennia ago. To attest to this they are based on some skeletons belonging to those times that present bony deformations in the arms and legs, as if they had carried out an activity that would fit perfectly with the position used on the reed horse-Caballito de Totora. It is quite difficult to find remains of this type of boat, since its material life did not exceed one month.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/CABALLO-DE-Totora7.png\" alt=\"CABALLO DE Totora\" class=\"wp-image-14983\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Caballito de Totora<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Importance\"><\/span>The Importance: <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance that the sea had for these cultures, apart from the economic and subsistence interest, so these cultures used navigation as a recreational activity as well, which would make these pre-Columbian Americans the first surfers of history. The fishermen of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/peru-packages\/lima-paracas-ica-nazca-cusco-10-days\/\">Peru <\/a><\/strong>today continue to fish near its coast through this traditional method. They do so through the so-called caballito de totora, which owes its name to the way in which the person in question positions himself to navigate, in which he imitates the posture of a rider mounted on his horse. These boats are handcrafted from reeds, a very common aquatic plant in the Peruvian swamps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-fishing-and-surf-origin\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Fishing_and_Surf_Origin\"><\/span><br>The Fishing and Surf Origin:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/caballito-de-totora-2.jpg\" alt=\"caballito de totora\" class=\"wp-image-14977\" style=\"width:683px;height:383px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Caballito de totora<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The caballito de totora is an individual boat, with a length of about three meters, It is usually wider at the stern, where it has a reserved space for storing fish. The boat narrows as it approaches the bow, while curving slightly upward. Despite the apparent fragility that it can transmit, it is strong enough to withstand and overcome the waves that hit the shores of the <strong>Pacific Ocean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/caballito-de-totora2.jpg\" alt=\"caballito de totora\" class=\"wp-image-14980\" style=\"width:687px;height:391px\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Caballito de totora<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>One of the main uses of the caballito de toroa was, of course, fishing, to do this, the fishermen had to move away from the coast, overcoming the rough waves of the coastline.
