By train (www.perurail.com) the Titicaca Route journey from Puno to Cusco is one of the most scenic in Peru (10 hr.), departing from the Puno train station at Av. La Torre 224.
Suasi (122 km / 77 miles)
Visitors can travel by lancha (motorboat) across the lake or by road (as the island is just 1 km by boat from the banks), along a spectacularly scenic but rustic road (167 km/ 98 miles/ 3 hours) that hugs the banks of Lake Titicaca and passes some of the most extraordinary landscapes in all of Peru. Round-trip travel by boat can be arranged, though this option is considerably more expensive. Casa Andina strongly recommends taking advantage of fixed departures, as the island’s remoteness means that chartered transportation services are considerably more expensive, and 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
Cusco (475 km / 297 miles)
There are daily flights to Cusco on LanPerú. Most flights stop first in Juliaca.
