Arequipa to Lima by Bus: 2024 updated information about bus schedules, bus safety, and the best bus to take!
A bus from Arequipa to Lima takes around 17 long hours when direct, which is why many travelers choose to have stops along the way.
When going from Arequipa to Lima, many travelers choose to make a stop Nazca, Huacachina Oasis and Paracas. At Nazca, you can catch a flight over the Nazca Lines. These mysterious drawings made up of animals, shapes and more were etched into the desert sand thousands of years ago and are only visible from atop. When traveling with Peru Hop, a free stop is included at the Nazca Lines Viewing Tower where you’ll get to see 3 of these amazing drawings.
The Huacachina Oasis considered one of Peru’s best destinations. Note that Peru Hop is the ONLY bus company that departs from Huacacachina as it has direct access into Huacachina Oasis. All other bus companies can only go as far as Ica, so you will need to organize transport to and from Ica.
Paracas is famed for being a marine wildlife haven and beautiful beach town. Home to the Ballestas Islands, known as the Peruvian Galapagos, it’s a great stop that can be enjoyed in just a short amount of time.
Once in Lima you’ll enjoy one of South America’s most vibrant cities. With abundant things to do and streets filled with history, it’s the perfect spot to finish (or begin) your Peru trip! Plan ahead of time to spend a couple of days in this beautiful city.
