Bus starts pickups between 5:15am – 5:45am. Your pick up time will be on your confirmation once you put your hotel/hostel.

Top Things To Do In Puno

Lake Titicaca Tour: See how locals build and live on the Uros Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world.

Recommended Number Of Nights In Puno

We recommend spending 1 night in Puno so that you can enjoy both the city and the magnificent Lake Titicaca. You can take a day tour of the islands on the lake (including the famous Floating Islands of Uros), or experience a homestay with a native family if you have a little more time to add to your schedule. This can be booked onboard with Peru Hop. Just ask our guides for any tips and advice!

Hopstage 2 : Arequipa to Nazca to Huacachina

Bus Details

Pick up at your hotel or hostel in central Arequipa.

Bus starts pickups between 5:15am – 5:45am. Your pick up time will be on your confirmation once you put your hotel/hostel.

Top Things To Do In Nazca & Huacachina

  • Explore the only desert oasis in South America
  • Visit a Pisco Vineyard and learn all about how the national drink of Peru is made
  • Relax by the pool and soak in the heat of the desert

Nazca Lines Flight: The best way to fit the Nazca flight tour into your trip from Cusco to Lima is by hopping off in Nazca at 4:00 pm, spending the night and then taking the flight early the following morning.  In the afternoon, you can then hop on the next Peru Hop bus coming through Nazca or if you prefer, you can make your own way to Huacachina in time for the sandboarding tour in the afternoon and continue to Paracas the same day.

Dune buggy and Sandboarding: Guaranteed to be one of the most adrenaline-filled activities you’ve experienced in your life! Dune Buggy through the dunes of the desert, sandboard down and finish it all off by taking some stunning snaps of the desert sunset at the end. The tour begins at 16:00pm and lasts 2 hours.

Recommended Number Of Nights In Huacachina

We recommend at least 1 night in Huacachina as this gives you time to do the Dune Buggy and Sandboarding, as well as the Pisco Vineyard Tour and still have enough time to climb the dunes and marvel at the incredible Oasis. Huacachina is also famous for its nightly BBQ and our guides often host free salsa lessons.

As always, if you love Huacachina, you can hop off and stay as long as you want! You can decide this up to 12 hours before the next bus!

Accommodation

Book your own accommodation or check below for our recommended partners who offer special deals to Peru Hop passengers. Accommodation CAN be reserved with your Peru Hop onboard guide but we recommend this option mainly for dorm rooms as a lot of private rooms sell out in advance.

Recommended Number Of Nights In La Paz

We recommend spending at least 2-3 days in La Paz, so that you can really get to know this city at the heart of Bolivia. From its modern cable car system to the otherworldly moon valley just outside of the city, explore everything that the highest capital city in the world has to offer!

As always, if you love La Paz, you can hop off and stay as long as you want! You can decide this up to 12 hours before the next bus!
