Ho(s)tels definitely in the pickup area are: Loki, Savoy, Cordillera Real, La Valle, Alsigal, Inca's Room, Rosario, Estrella Andina, Cruz de Los Andes, Sol Andino, Las Brisas, Sajama, Berlina, Hostal Gloria, Hostal Copacabana, Milton, Golden Palace, Maya Inn, Sagarnaga, Alem, Fuentes, Condeza, Posada de La Abuela Obdulia, Provenzal, Nuevo Sol, Naira, Onkel Inn, Osira, Wild Rover, Residencial Latino, Victoria, Bamboo, Ananay, Bacoo, Arthy's Guesthouse, Bunkie Hostel, Adventure Brew Hostel and BB, Avenida, Perla Negra, Tambo de Oro, Hotel Latino, LP Columbus.
N. B. - There are other hotels that are within the pickup area and that were not mentioned in the list - please ask if your hotel is near any of the above, we might be able to pick you up from there (will have to check). Having said that, pickup is from CENTRAL LA PAZ HOTELS only - we do not pickup from apartments / AirBnb accommodations and from areas outside of Central La Paz (Miraflores, Sopocachi, San Jorge, Calacoto, San Miguel are all OUTSIDE of the pickup area). If you want to take the bus but are not within the pickup area you must make your way to the bus terminal directly.
- Can I catch this bus the same morning I get in from Uyuni? All overnight buses from Uyuni (tourist and local ones) usually get in at around 7.00 am at the main bus terminal in La Paz. This tourist bus to Copacabana (and then to Puno) will leave the bus terminal at around 7.45 / 8.00 in the morning, so if buses from Uyuni get in before then, you will definitely make it. Still, in case your bus from Uyuni is late, we cannot be responsible in case this bus to Copa leaves without you. It doesn't happen often but it does happen sometimes. Many people have managed to connect the two buses successfully though, but please be aware of the risks.
Please ensure you provide us with the correct hotel/pickup point that you require when booking this bus. You must be ready and waiting for 6.45 - 7.30 am at this place (we will let you know the exact time when we confirm your booking) - pickup will be within half an hour from that time (depends on traffic and other pickups). Please be aware that hotel pick ups can only be arranged from Hotels located in the city center of La Paz - see above.
Also, if booking on weekends or national holidays, please be aware that pickup time might be pushed back to an earlier time (usually one hour earlier) - this is in order not to get stuck in traffic! This also happens if there are strikes or roadblocks announced for that date (happens quite often). However, we cannot know about any changes far in advance, so please make sure you check your e-mails the day before your trip - we can only inform you of any time changes via e-mail.
