Lake Titicaca - Suasi Island

(Local Name: Islas Suasi) Near the north shore of Lake Titicaca is Isla Suasi. This island is the perfect place to get away from it all. Except for one hotel, this 5 acre island is uninhabited.

The hotel was built in the late 1990s and designed to blend in, as well as possible, with the surroundings. It is made of stone and thatch, and runs on solar power. Also on Islas Suasi is a garden with native vegetables and herbs, llamas, rowboats, and a sauna.

This is one of the few island options on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca that doesn't require a home stay with a local family. Reservations are a must and can be arranged through travel agencies in Puno.
