The bus will pick you up from a central La Paz accommodation between 6.30 and 7.00 am (we need to confirm the time depending on the hotel) and take you to Copacabana arriving around 11.30 am in time for a lake-side lunch. Famous for the Sun Island (Isla del Sol),  you will get on our private boat to visit the southern part of the island. This is a 4 hour round trip including a roughly one hour walk visiting the sun temple and a spectacular viewpoint and is included in the price! You have the choice of staying overnight on the island itself to witness the spectacular sunsets or back in Copacabana and catching the next Bolivia Hop bus to Puno that leaves 6 times a week (not on Saturdays) at 17.00. The English-speaking guides on the bus will help you with the border formalities and make sure everything goes safely and smoothly and help with any problems you might have. 

Arriving in Puno you will be dropped at your central hotel/hostel at around 20.00. If on a Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Sunday you can continue straight onto Arequipa at 21.45 or if you wish (or not a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday) you can stay the night in Puno. Following the night in Puno we will be up early to be one of the very first out to visit the "Floating Islands" (optional extra - can be booked onboard) of the Uros people made entirely from one of the local lake reeds, totora. You can then spend the day in Puno before we head to Arequipa, leaving at 21.30 and arriving in the early morning of the following day (05.30 am) where you will dropped off again at your selected accommodation.

Last leg of the journey will be a day bus from Arequipa to Cusco, that leaves 4 times a week early in the morning. Also for this section of the trip you will be picked up from central accommodations in Arequipa. You will arrive in Cusco in late afternoon after a very scenic ride.

  • Bolivia Hop buses - To ensure your safety, every Hop bus has the following practices:
- 2 drivers for every journey over 5 hours... drivers swap every 4 hours
- Large team of drivers... drivers not overworked/tired as is often the case on other buses
- Bus assistant always on board - regular checks on the drivers
- Seatbelts for every passenger
- Speedometre alert - when bus goes over 90km/h an alarm will go off throughout the bus warning the driver to slow down
- 24 hour GPS monitoring for longer journeys - every bus is monitored from a secure point via GPS... we always know where the bus is and if it is taking any unscheduled stops
- Constant contact between the drivers/guide to the Bolivia Hop office via telephone
- No tight deadlines - drivers under no pressure to arrive at a certain time, no need for increased speed or unnecessary risks
