We recommend spending at least 1 night in Copacabana so that you can get to know the city. From fascinating cultural offerings to stunning lookout points of Lake Titicaca, Copacabana is a wonderful place to experience the best of 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 accommodation or check below for our recommended partners who offer special deals to Peru Hop passengers. Accommodation CAN be reserved with your Peru Hop onboard guide but we recommend this option 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.
Machu Picchu: Do a trek (Classic Inca Trail or Salkantay), a combined trek/biking tour (Inka Jungle Trek) or take the train roundtrip from Cusco (can be done as a full day but 2 days staying the night before in Aguas Calientes is advised).
Rainbow Mountain: Discover this mind-blowing natural wonder, famous for its many colors creating a “rainbow” effect. Only recently discovered, it’s become one of Peru’s must-see attractions.

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 the Inca capital as possible. From the jaw-dropping Rainbow Mountain to the impressive fortress of Sacsayhuamán overlooking the city, there are endless amazing activities and things to see in Cusco. Ask our guides for more information if you’re not sure about what to do!
As always, if you love Cusco, you can hop off and stay as long as you want! You can decide this up to 12 hours before the next bus!
Unfortunately, we do not offer special discounts for hotels/hostels in Cusco. Just book independently from one of the many options to choose from for all types of travelers. Feel free to ask us for advice on where to stay if you’re unsure!
Note: For legal reasons, buses are not allowed to enter the historical center of Cusco which is where most hostels and hotels are located in the city. For this reason, we cannot provide our normal pick-up and drop-off service here. However, after you arrive at our bus terminal located on the outskirts of the city, we will pay for private transport to take you to your hotel/hostel provided it is located close to the center.
