Suasi is like no other island: in the midst of Lake Titicaca, it is a mere speck in what appears to be an ocean. The only private island in the lake, it is uninhabited save for its guests and the temporary residents who staff the ecolodge Casa Andina administers. Other than that, the only permanent island residents are camelids and birds. Suasi is a singular experience, so isolated, peaceful and beautiful that for many it is the reason to come to Titicaca. It is a window onto not only the beauty of the lake, but the unique ecosystem that thrives on the highest navigable lake in the world. Along with the folkloric appeal of the Uros floating islands and Taquile, Suasi completes the picture of Titicaca and permits travelers to have an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Suasi - just 43 hectares - is a singularly beautiful, natural paradise, a refuge of uncommon serenity. With extraordinary sunlight, a self-sufficient, solar-powered lodge and a diversity of birds and marine life (all catalogued by experts), it is a place to unwind and experience, leaving the world behind. While it’s a perfect place to kick back with a book and just relax and enjoy the remoteness and splendid views of the pristine of Titicaca, it’s also a place to explore the National Reserve of Titicaca, from its way of life - Andean beliefs, customs and cultural traditions - to its natural habitat and indigenous altiplano flora and fauna. Casa Andina offers a multitude of activities on the island - most of which are included in the cost of a stay, though a few have nominal additional fees.
