Peru Hop is for explorers who want to see and do more than what’s in the guidebooks and avoid being a typical tourist.
We want you to truly discover Peru and learn all about this amazing country and its people.
We, the Irish and Peruvian founders of Peru Hop, realized public buses were made for locals to get from A to B as fast as possible with no insights into Peru or hidden gem stops.
Typical tourists get on, find all the locals asleep on the way to work, and look out the window not knowing what they are missing.
So we got our own buses, make quick stops at hidden gems along the way, and put local Peruvian hosts on board each bus sharing crazy stories about life in Peru, to give you a truly authentic Peruvian experience.
Our hop-on, hop-off system puts you in total control of where you go, what you do and how long for, giving you complete flexibility.
Don’t be a typical tourist who leaves Peru having missed hidden gems and not gotten to know the local Peruvians or their culture… Discover the REAL Peru with Peru Hop!

Public buses get you from A to B. Peru Hop was built to help you experience everything in between.
Watch this short video from Will, our Irish co-founder, to see the story behind Peru Hop, how it works, and why thousands of travelers use it to discover the real Peru.

Think of Peru Hop as the best of both worlds between a tour and doing it yourself.
With a tour, you get an onboard expert local host, meet other travelers, see things impossible to get to by yourself and feel a lot safer.
With doing it yourself, you have maximum flexibility to travel when you want, stay at places as long as you want, and do whatever you want.
Peru Hop is the sweet spot between both..maximum flexibility and freedom with the benefits of hidden gem stops, meeting people on board, local onboard hosts telling you crazy stories about life in Peru and the sense of safety and community of traveling with fellow explorers like you!
From crazy corruption to eating chicken feet and guinea pig, to secret slave tunnels and hidden lakes, Peru really does have it all, and we believe we have created a way to give you a real insight into this amazing place and its people.

Wi-Fi Note: Peru Hop is the ONLY bus company in Peru with high-speed Wi-Fi powered by Starlink satellite internet on every bus, so you can stay connected even while traveling through remote areas. Other buses may advertise standard Wi-Fi, but it almost never works once you leave the city.
Don’t believe us? Find the best local bus company, find their Tripadvisor page, and then read the reviews. Then read Peru Hop reviews. We are far from perfect, but we promise you a much better traveling experience seeing more and paying less!
When comparing our prices, add up the costs of all the journeys we include in the pass you are interested in. Then, add on all taxi costs to/from each terminal and the time you waste doing this. Then add on the real cost of our free stops at hidden gems compared to trying to do them yourself.
You will see that not only do we offer safety and comfort, but our prices represent incredible value too for everything that Peru Hop offers.
Peru is probably a once in a lifetime trip for you. Don’t ruin it sat on a public bus full of bored locals trying to get to work as fast as possible with crazy drivers!
Discover the REAL Peru with Peru Hop, make friends along the way, and make the most of your once in a lifetime trip to this amazing country!
