Puno (122 km / 77 miles)
Visitors can travel by lancha (motorboat) across the lake or by road, back to Puno (or the airport in Juliaca for flights). Most guests choose to return from Suasi by land (the island is just 1 km from the lake bank), along a spectacularly scenic but rustic road (167 km/98 miles) that hugs the banks of Lake Titicaca. Round-trip travel by boat can be arranged, though this option is considerably more expensive. Casa Andina strongly recommends taking advantage of fixed departures, since the island’s remoteness means that chartered transportation services are considerably more expensive; a fixed departure can save as much as 50% on transportation to the island. Fixed departures for Suasi are Wednesday and Saturday from March through November, an extra departure is available on Sundays from May through November. Spending the night in Puno the day before departure for Suasi is essential. For more information you can write us to travel@casa-andina.com

The trip by land is 3 hours each way, but the least expensive way of doing it, along the highway by taxi, isn’t the most recommended (they can be difficult to arrange, and each trajectory will cost about USD 100). A better option is to travel 4x4, with the security of Casa Andina vehicles that will leave you in the village of Cambria at the edge of the lake, where you take a Zodiac dinghy just 5 minutes to arrive at the island.

Cusco (388 km / 241 miles) & Lima (1,495 km / 935 miles)
Travelers can fly to these and other Peruvian cities from Juliaca (45 minutes by road from Puno). To Cusco, travelers can take the very scenic 10-hour train (3 days per week/4 in high season) that departs from the station in Puno.

La Paz, Bolivia (419 km /670 miles)
The most common and scenic route is from Puno to La Paz via Yunguyo and Copacabana. Travelers are dropped off at the border and picked up by a colectivo or taxi shuttle to go through Customs and passport control. The trip to La Paz takes 7 or 8 hours by bus.
