When travelling, you always have to find the best reasons to help you decide which option to take. This can be difficult as it’s a once in a lifetime trip to a different country, and for many of you, a different continent. We’ve been through those struggles ourselves and because of that, we’ve listed the 10 reasons, based on research and feedback from our passengers, as to why hop with us!

11 REASONS TO USE PERU HOP

FOR YOUR TRAVELS ACROSS SOUTHERN PERU

1 Covid Pandemic - Peru Hop the BEST way to travel

A simple look at Tripadvisor will show you that Peru Hop and our world famous local Peruvian guides have been helping plenty of people get around Peru safely during these uncertain times, all whilst ensuring you have a lot of fun and meet like-minded people along the way. We are sure you have lots of questions, doubts and worries about traveling to Peru right now, but our team are only too happy to help, and in a way, now is a perfect time to come visit given the lack of crowds!

2 JAW-DROPPING UNIQUE STOPS AND ACTIVITIES ALONG THE WAY

Don’t miss seeing all the beautiful wonders of Peru by simply flying straight from Lima to Cusco! Taking Peru Hop gives you the opportunity to visit the only desert oasis in ALL of South America, see Colca Canyon (deeper than the grand canyon) and visit the FLOATING islands of UROS on the highest Lake in the world, Lake Titicaca! What are you waiting for!? Check out some of our extra tours!

3 WE TAKE YOU TO HIDDEN LOCAL STOPS OFF THE BEATEN TRACK!

Not only do our guides give you the low-down on everything Peru, but our goal is to completely immerse you in this magnificently fascinating culture. Try some actual local food at one of our lunch stops along the way. Enjoy the flavour of the national Peruvian drink ‘Pisco’ at our exclusive vineyard tour (miles from the boring route of a direct bus).

4 AWESOME LOCAL GUIDES!

Our guides are fun and enthusiastic people who love sharing about their country and are ready to help you with whatever you need. Advice, assistance and excellent inside information about EVERY destination. Get to know more about our guides by reading more here.

5 90% CHEAPER THAN OTHER TOUR COMPANIES!

Try googling “10 day tour of Peru”, and you will find that the only other tours available have fixed itineraries (with no flexible option) and cost roughly $1,500 – $4,500 USD. Also, these tours generally don’t even include everything (read the small print!).If budget backpacking was your plan, we still work-out much cheaper! Try adding the price of transport, the free extra activities in each hidden Peruvian destination, and the full cost of other activities and accommodation (find online or check out our exclusive accommodation discounts), you’ll see the maths for yourself! Check out more price details on our how it works page.

6 PERU HOP IS FOR EVERYONE – NO MATTER YOUR AGE OR NATIONALITY!

We pride ourselves on having passengers from every corner of the world! No matter your nationality or age, if you're solo or with a group, family or couple, all are welcome in the Hopster family! We want people of all kinds with a passion for travel, who are eager to get involved and make this an experience you’ll never forget! Check out our who travels with us page for more!

DID YOU KNOW : A little more than 40% of Peru Hop passengers are over 30 years old!

7 TRAVEL IN COMFORT & SAFETY

We know nobody is big fan of bus travel as it is, but we do our best to make sure you’re entertained for the journey anyway! Sit back and enjoy a good classic film in English, don’t run out of battery on your phone or any other device with our usb ports and stay cozy on our night buses with one of the thick duvet blankets we hand out! For more on the comfort and safety of travelling with Peru Hop read our buses page.

8 EUROPEAN OWNED & PERUVIAN OPERATED

Peru Hop was set up by European travelers and is Peruvian operated. It's the perfect combination of passionate people sharing their country paired with European levels of safety & service. Our bilingual guides also make the journey much easier for anyone struggling with Spanish and have fun sharing their language with anyone eager to pick up a few Spanish words while here in Peru!

9 HOTEL/ HOSTEL PICK-UPS & DROP OFFS

Avoid getting up ridiculously early, paying for a taxi to bring you to the risky bus station and trying to catch your next bus on time. Then paying for a taxi to your hostel and doing it all again in a few days. We pick you up and drop you off right at the door. Did you know: There is no other bus that goes directly to Huacachina, all other buses only go as far as the closest town, Ica. This would mean paying for a taxi to a bus station in a whole other town. Peru Hop picks you up and drops you off at every stop*!

10 SEE WHAT SOME OF OUR PASSENGERS HAVE SAID

Want to hear it from someone else? Try googling ‘Peru Hop review’ to see what some bloggers who’ve travelled with us have said! Here are some of our favourite quotes so far from bloggers who are part of the Hopster family. Go check out their sites for the full detailed stories of their experience!

“I was constantly shocked by how much money I spent on long distance buses in South America, they’re more expensive than flights in Europe and Asia, so PeruHop works out to be great value.” – Johnny Ward from One Step 4ward

“I won’t lie, for some reason it didn’t occur to me that an overnight bus could actually be fun, but since I immediately met travelers and backpackers from all over the world, it turned out to be a really good time!” – Alyssa from My Life’s a Movie

“The buses were as spacious as the Trip Advisor reviews told me they’d be and then some!” – Gloria from The Blog Abroad

11 FLEXIBLE ITINERARIES TO SUIT EVERY TRAVELER!

We understand that passengers like to travel at their own pace so we have created flexible passes that allows just that! Each pass is valid for 1 year meaning you can spend as little or as long as you want at each stop. There is no one itinerary that suits every traveler, so we didn’t try to make one. Whether you fall in love with the peace of Paracas or the excitement of Huacachina, Peru Hop has you covered. Simply hop off where you please, take your time exploring and hop back on the next bus the following day. No restricting itineraries, no worries!

STILL NOT CONVINCED?

Having successfully transported over 150,000 customers across Peru since 2013, we are proud to call ourselves the travelers choice! As you can see from above there are so many perks to travelling with Peru Hop, from unique stops and free activities to safe buses and welcoming guides.

QUICK TIP:

If travelling to or from Lima Airport, it is strongly recommended to use the luxury Airport Express Lima bus to get to or from your hotel. Safer and cheaper than a taxi with no baggage limit as well as free Wi-Fi and USB chargers onboard, it is ideal for travellers.
