Lake Titicaca, the largest lake in South America, lies on the border between Peru and Bolivia. At 3,812 m (12,507 ft.) above sea level is the highest navigable lake in the world. It has a total surface area of 8,372 km2 (3,232 mi2).

The lake is renowned for its deep sapphire-blue waters which contrast with the different shades of brown and ochre of the countryside, dotted here and there with small towns consisting of mud-brick houses with red-colored tiled roofs and stone churches. The blue skies are simply endless and the majestic snow-covered mountain peaks of Bolivia can be appreciated in the far distance.

Lake Titicaca is notable for the unique floating islands of the Uros people, made from totora reeds. It also has a number of natural islands, including Amantani and Taquile in Peru, and the famous islands of the Sun and the Moon in Bolivia.

Lake Titicaca holds large populations of water birds and several threatened species such as the huge Titicaca Water Frog and the flightless Titicaca Grebe which are largely or entirely restricted to the lake.


LAKE TITICACA PRIVATE SUASI ISLAND CIRCUIT 3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS

SUASI ISLANDSuasi Island offers a great opportunity to relax, disconnect from your daily routine, and enjoy nature. Located in the northeastern part of Lake Titicaca, you will find yourself far away from the noise of modern civilization. Suasi will offer you luxuries normally quite difficult to obtain: peace and tranquility.

The 43 hectares island is a model of conservation, respect for local customs, and development based on ecotourism and in complete harmony with the environment. The facilities run entirely on solar energy.

You will be amazed by the sunrises and sunsets which appear much more intense in this part of the world. This is a true visual feast of colors and sensations.

LAKE TITICACA PRIVATE SUASI ISLAND CIRCUIT 3 DAYS/2 NIGHTS

ITINERARY

Day 1: Puno

Upon arrival at Juliaca airport and on your way to your hotel in Puno, you will visit a pre-Inca burial ground at Sillustani. There you will find tower-like structures called “Chullpas” which symbolized life and birth; they are ancient and impressive tombs for chiefs and other dignitaries. Later the site was inhabited by the Incas, who made their own version of these towers. This is an impressive site that combines archaeology, history, and an amazing landscape. The visit takes 02 hours.

NOTE: This stopover is only an option for passengers whose flights arrive no later than 1 pm as the site at Sillustani closes at 5 pm.

Day 2: Suasi Island

On your way to Suasi Island you will make a stop at one of the 42 floating islands made with totora reeds by the Uros people. They were originally a pre-Inca civilization who was forced to take up residence on the floating islands when the Incas expanded onto their land. You will be able to meet one of the traditional families living there and learn about their customs.

Afterwards, you will also enjoy an exclusive cultural experience visiting the traditional “Alsuno” community of weavers on Taquile, a hilly island located 45 km east of Puno. “Taquile and its Textile Art” were proclaimed a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” by UNESCO.

LAKE TITICACA PRIVATE SUASI ISLAND CIRCUIT 3 DAYS /2 NIGHTS

Day 3: Cambria - Juliaca

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, a motor boat will take you from Suasi Island to the town of Cambria, a journey lasting approximately 15 minutes. From there, a four-wheel drive vehicle takes you all the way back to Juliaca airport in time for your flight. This journey will last 02 ½ hours, enabling you to enjoy the amazing scenery and spectacular views of Lake Titicaca on the way.

NOTE: The motorboat that takes clients to the mainland is available from 7 am onwards. Nevertheless, the high tide and waves at night and at dawn can cause considerable delays, which is why earlier departures leaving Suasi are not feasible. Therefore, we advise customers to book their flights out of Juliaca accordingly. The best time to fly out would be sometime in the afternoon. For those looking to take the train or the special Tourist Bus out of Puno, please take into account the fact that these leave early in the morning, at 8 am and 7 am respectively. This means that clients would need to stay one additional night in Puno in order to take either of these the following day.
