More than a place, Casa Andina Private Collection Suasi Island is an
experience. The vastness of the Lake Titicaca can be observed from every single
room of the hotel, which lies on a mild and sheltered hill next to magnificent
Andean terraces full of flowers.
Built with local materials such as stone, adobe and totora reed, the hotel is
located in the small private island of Suasi, one of the most beautiful and
special ones within the whole Lake Titicaca. The island has 106 acres and is
home to the four South American camelids.
