The Suches River is a river of Bolivia, running from the Suches Lake to Lake Titicaca. It forms a stretch of the Bolivia-Peru border.[1]
Course
[edit]The Suches River rises in Suches Lake at 4,605 meters above sea level. It then follows the length of the Bolivian-Peruvian border for 95 km before flowing for another 79 km within Bolivian territory, before flowing into Lake Titicaca at 3,800 metres (12,500 ft).[2]
The river's elevation remains above 3,800 metres (12,500 ft) for its entire course, meaning water temperatures stay consistently cold throughout the year.[2]
