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.

Includes island entrance fee.

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!

Bolivia Hop – Compagnie de bus #1 en Bolivie
En plus d’être irréprochables sur la sécurité que nous vous offrons, nous sommes également exemplaire pour notre ponctualité et notre confort. En Amérique du Sud, où personne ne respecte les horaires, nous sommes fiers que 98,5% de nos bus arrivent à l’heure pour chaque voyage.
Si vous comparez Bolivia Hop à d’autres compagnies de bus, prenez en compte les engagements en matière de sécurité, l’historique des accidents, ainsi que les pages Tripadvisor (si ils en ont une). Vous constaterez rapidement pourquoi certaines compagnies de bus ont des “prix moins chers” que Bolivia Hop.
Les caractéristiques de nos bus
- 40 sièges inclinables semi-lit avec oreillers pour plus de confort.
- Toilettes modernes et propres: Contrairement à celles des bus publics qui sentent souvent mauvais et ne sont pas nettoyées régulièrement.
- Système d’air conditionné: Nous veillons à ce qu’il ne fasse jamais trop chaud ni trop froid.
- 3 téléviseurs LCD: Installez-vous confortablement et regardez des films (en anglais) lors des longs trajets.
- Système de freinage et de suspension de la plus haute qualité: Votre voyage se fait en douceur.
- Des couvertures pour tous les passagers: Blottissez-vous et reposez-vous durant les longs trajets.
- Système de surveillance GPS: Nous surveillons nos bus à distance et nous contrôlons leur vitesse.
- Ports USB sur chaque siège! Chargez votre téléphone et vos autres appareils tout au long de votre voyage.
Nos pratiques de sécurité
- Une large équipe de conducteurs: Nos conducteurs ne sont pas surmenés ni fatigués, comme c’est souvent le cas avec d’autres compagnies de bus. Tout le monde est reposé et attentif.
- Toujours un guide à bord: Notre guide effectue des contrôles réguliers auprès des chauffeurs et s’assure que tout soit en ordre dans le bus..
- Ceintures de sécurité: Nous vous demandons de les porter durant toute la durée du trajet. Votre sécurité est primordiale pour nous..
- Surveillance GPS 24h/24: Nous savons toujours où vous vous trouvez et nous surveillons la bonne avancée de votre trajet.
- Contact permanent avec notre équipe à bord: Les chauffeurs et le guide communiquent en permanence par téléphone avec nos agences.
- Pas d’impératifs de délais: Nos chauffeurs ne subissent AUCUNE pression pour arriver à une certaine heure. Ils ne sont pas motivés à conduire plus vite ou à prendre des risques inutiles.
- Traversée du lac entre Copacabana et La Paz. Notre bus est spécialement construit pour la traversée sur bateau du lac et remplit toutes les règles de sécurité. Votre propre passage se fera sur une barque différente. Certaines compagnies vous demandent de rester dans le bus lors de la traversée pour économiser de l’argent… ce qui est complétement FOU!

What exactly is a hop-on, hop-off bus?
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!
How do I change my itinerary while on the road?
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!
How do I book extra tours?
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.
Is Peru Hop available for everybody?
Families, single travelers, couples and groups of friends of all ages are welcome to join us traveling through Peru. Our buses always carry a mix of people from different countries and age groups, that’s what makes traveling with Peru Hop such a great experience.
Booking in Advance?
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.
Do the buses run on time?
Peru Hop is an EXTREMELY punctual service, especially compared to other Peruvian 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 Peru Hop.
