Pick up at your hotel or hostel in central La Paz.
Bus starts pickups between 6:30 – 7am. Your pick up time will be on your confirmation once you put your hotel/hostel.
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).
Not Included: Island Entry Ticket (10Bs)
We recommend spending at least 1 night in Copacabana so that you can get to know the city. From Cholita Wrestling to climbing up to the mirador, where you can see the full city in all its splendor, Copacabana is a wonderful place for you to start to get to know Bolivia. Ask our guides for more tips if you’re not sure of what you want to do!
As always, if you love Copacabana, you can hop off and stay as long as you want! You can decide this up to 12 hours before the next bus!
Book your own hotel/hostel or see below for our recommended partners who offer special deals to Bolivia Hop passengers. Accommodation CAN be reserved with your Bolivia Hop onboard guide but we recommend this mainly for dorm rooms as a lot of private rooms sell out in advance.
Meeting point in Copacabana is White Anchor in Copacabana Port (within walking distance from all major hostels and hotels).
Buses depart at 5pm sharp.
Lake Titicaca Tour: See how locals build and live on the floating islands of Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world.
We recommend spending 1 night in Puno so that you can enjoy both the city and the magnificent Lake Titicaca. You can have a day tour of the islands on the lake, including the famous Floating Islands of Uros, or you can even enjoy a homestay with a naitive family if you have a little more time to add to your schedule. This can be booked with Bolivia Hop. Ask our guides for any tips and advice!
As always, if you love Puno, you can hop off and stay as long as you want!. You can decide this up to 12 hours before the next bus!

Full day tour begins at 03:00am (stay 1 night Arequipa, do this tour the next day).

We recommend spending at least 2 nights in Arequipa so that you have plenty of time to enjoy the White City. You can visit the Colca Canyon from here, the second biggest canyon on the planet. You can also visit Misti the Volcano, which looms over the city. If planning doing a tour/trek of the great Colca Canyon then add a day or 2 to your schedule.

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).
Rainbow Mountain: Discover the strange and unique site, famed for the colors that give it the “rainbow” aspect. Only recently discovered, it’s become one of Peru’s most beautiful attractions. If you want to learn more, click <a href=”https://www.rainbowmountaintravels.com/regular-tour/” target=”_blank”>here</a>!
We recommend spending at least 3-4 nights in Cusco, (not including a trek to Machu Picchu) so that you can experience as much of this Inca city as possible. From the jaw-dropping Rainbow Mountain, filled with beautiful rock minerals and views to the fortress of Sacsayhuaman that guards the city there is endless amazing things to do in Cusco.

BOOK NOWAs well as an unbeatable safety record, Bolivia Hop is also famous for its punctuality and comfort. In South America, where things often run later than scheduled, we are very proud to say we achieve a 98.5% on-time arrival for each trip.
If comparing Bolivia Hop to other bus companies, make sure you check their safety record, past accidents, as well as their Tripadvisor page (if they even bother to have one) as often you will find there is a reason why some bus companies have “cheaper” prices than Bolivia Hop.

The health and safety of all of our passengers is, and has always been, our top priority. Due to the current situation, we've examined our protocols, journeys and service to make sure that we exceed the safety expectations of everyone who travels with us. We sought guidance from the World Health Organization and government agencies, and, because of years of experience, we've been able to help define protocols for travel in Bolivia. We're surpassing safety standards, for you, the passenger, and will continue doing so moving forward.
Our buses follow a specific route and you can hop-on and hop-off at each of our destinations whenever you like, according to our timetable. Your pass is valid for 1 year in 1 direction, so you can stay as long as you want in 1 place or just follow our recommended schedule!
Once you book a ticket, you will get your unique reservation code on your booking confirmation that gives you access to the HOP LOGIN. There, you'll be able to change your travel dates, pick-up locations and put your pass on hold. It's that simple! All changes to your itinerary have to be made a MINIMUM OF 12 HOURS BEFORE YOUR NEXT DEPARTURE DATE!
We accept tour reservations on our buses but we always recommend reserving tours in advance and paying securely online via FindLocalTrips.com to avoid costly ATM withdrawal fees and currency exchange rate charges.
They offer a very flexible change of tour date policy to Bolivia Hop passengers. Changes are free of charge right up until the day before the tour is due to start.
Families, single travelers, couples and groups of friends of all ages are welcome to join us traveling through Bolivia and Peru. Our buses always carry a mix of people from different countries and age groups, that’s what makes traveling with Bolivia Hop such a great experience.
We are proud that word of mouth from our ex-hopsters means our tickets often sell out in advance, so we strongly recommend you book as soon as possible. Remember that once you have a ticket, you can change your start date up to 24 hours before departure.
Bolivia Hop is an EXTREMELY punctual service, especially compared to other Bolivian bus companies who are unfortunately late a lot (as can be seen from their tripadvisor reviews). If you have a tour or hotel booked and in the very rare case our bus is late, our onboard guides will help you by calling your tours and hotels to assist you as much as possible, but really this should never happen on Bolivia Hop.
