Our Buses & Safety

Quick Summary: If you want door-to-door transport, handpicked stops, bilingual support, and consistent safety standards across Peru, Peru Hop is one of the safest and most traveler-friendly ways to travel by bus. Reliable modern buses with high-speed Wi-Fi, driver rotation, GPS tracking, and an onboard guide all help reduce the risks that can come with public terminals, tight schedules, and language barriers.

All our buses have the following attributes

As travelers ourselves, we know that travel experience between destinations can make or break a once-in-a-lifetime trip. For that reason we’ve focused on offering the best comfort for all our passengers. Here’s a list of what sets our private, modern buses apart from the rest!

  • 40 semi-bed reclining seats: All with sponge foam pads for added comfort
  • Free high-speed Wi-Fi: High speeds to stream Netflix or Youtube and use social media even in remote areas
  • High-tech temperature-controlled air system: We ensure it is never too hot or too cold.
  • Highest quality brake and suspension system:  To ensure a smooth and seamless journey.
  • Modern and clean toilet: Unlike public buses that often smell bad/aren’t cleaned regularly.
  • 3 LCD TVs on board: Just sit back and enjoy English-speaking movies on longer journeys.
  • Blankets for every passenger: Snuggle up and get some sleep on longer trips.
  • USB ports on every seat! Charge your phone or any device throughout your whole trip.
  • GPS monitoring system: Allows us to track our buses every route and monitor driver speed.

Wi-Fi Note: Peru Hop is the ONLY bus company in Peru with reliable high-speed Wi-Fi, 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.

Bus safety

Our safety procedures

  • A large team of drivers Our drivers are not overworked/tired as is often the case on other buses.
  • Seatbelts We have a seatbelt on each seat and ask our passengers to wear them at all times.
  • Guides always on board Fluent, bilingual guides are always on board ready to assist you. They’ll give you all the top tips and precautions to take at each destination. Apart from this, they're in direct contact with the driver and office, making sure everything is going well.
  • 24 hour GPS monitoring All of our buses are monitored from a secure point via GPS. This helps us monitor the whereabouts of our vehicles, and also ensures that the buses are not making any unscheduled stops.
  • Lake crossing capabilities (Copacabana - La Paz route) Our bus on the route is purposely built for crossing the lake. Don’t worry, passengers cross on a different boat. Some companies put passengers on the bus as it floats across the lake to try to save some money, which is CRAZY!
  • No strangers on the bus Like most countries throughout the world, Peru has its fair share of bad people, people who are not afraid to steal from others. On all our trips, we considered each group as our family, always making sure everyone is having a great and safe time!

Note: Our Bolivia Hop buses DO NOT include an onboard toilet as the bus cannot be bigger due to weight restrictions involved in crossing Lake Titicaca between Copacabana and La Paz (buses need to float across the Lake). NO COMPANY operating this route has an onboard toilet due to these size restrictions. Public toilets ARE available at the Strait of Tiquina, the crossing point of the lake (one hour from Copacabana, 2hours 30 from La Paz).
