Route by Route Information

Follow the different ‘Hopstages’ of our route to see the different highlights at each of our destinations.
Hopstage 1 : LA PAZ TO COPACABANA
This leg of the route takes you from the spellbinding city of La Paz to the beautiful little town on Lake Titicaca, Copacabana.

The Cultural Route

La Paz to Copacabana is not a very long journey however it does include the Tiquina lake crossing. Here you’ll get a short break from the bus to enjoy a passenger ferry across the Strait of Tiquina. Boat fare is included with your Peru Hop pass.

You will also have a stop at Tiquina Mirador. This breathtaking viewpoint gives one of the best photo ops of the lake with the snow-capped Cordillera Real creating the ultimate backdrop!

Top Things To Do In Copacabana

Climb ‘El Calvario’ hill for amazing panoramic views of Lake Titicaca (sunset)

Visit the sacred church and pilgrimage centre of the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de Copacabana

Hire a kayak or duck-shaped pedalow and head out onto the lake

Relax lakeside with a cold beer and dine on the local speciality of freshly caught lake trout

star

Isla del Sol: According to Inca legend this small island in the middle of Lake Titicaca was home to their most revered god, Inti, and was the mythical birthplace of the first Inca ancestors. A 4 hour round trip in our private boat takes you out to see the ancestral terracing and ruins of the southern part of the island as well as the existing island communities (includes a 1 hour walk from the original sun temple to the small island town of Yumani). Includes island entrance fee.

Peru Hop Departure Details

Departures: DAILY

Departures From: Any hotel/hostel in central La Paz.

Departure Time: 07:00am

Arrival Time: 11:30am

Note:

Recommended Nights in Copacabana:
We recommend staying 1 night in Copacabana. There’s not too much to do here but one night is optimal for any tours or activities you might be interested in doing around Lake Titicaca. We can help you book your accommodation.

Drop-offs:
Copacabana is a small village. Central  drop-off/pick-up point used in Copacabana due to its small size and limited access.  Meeting point is the White Anchor by the port, within a few minutes walk of all major hotels/hostels.

Hopstage 2 : COPACABANA TO CUSCO
Now you’ve enjoyed Copacabana, the beautiful town on the highest lake in the world, it’s time to move on to Cusco, the enthralling city famously known as the gateway to Machu Picchu. Full of culture and history, Cusco is a city not to be passed through quickly.

The Cultural Route

During this part of the journey there is a Peru/Bolivia border crossing, where our guides will assist you with the necessary paperwork and immigration processes for crossing. Check with our office before departure for nationalities that may require additional VISA requirements. Please have your passport and immigration slips in order. Overstay fines should be paid before leaving.

Once over the border, we will have a quick dinner stop in the charming center of Puno before the overnight leg from Puno to Cusco.

Top Things To Do In Cusco

Explore the historic city of Cusco

Venture to the Sacred Valley and walk through one of the many trails set out by the Incas long ago

Go white water rafting (Urubamba/Apurimac rivers)

Go quad biking by the fascinating Moray terraces and Maras salt flats

Go horseback riding to local places such as Kenko, Temple of the Moon, Puka Pukara, Tambomachay and more

star

Machu Picchu: Do either a trek (Classic Inca Trail or Salkantay), or maybe a combined trek/biking tour (Inka Jungle Trek) or take the train in and back (can be done as a full day but 2 days staying the night before in Aguas Calientes is advised).

Peru Hop Departure Details

Departures: DAILY

Departures From: White Anchor in Copacabana port.

Departure Time: 17:00pm

Arrival Time: 06:00am (next day)

Note:

Recommended Nights in Cusco:
