Visit Bolivia with Bolivia Hop

Flexibility

Just like Peru Hop, Bolivia Hop allows you to go full flexible on your trip. You choose how long you will stay in each place and what route you will take.

There are also different cities where you can take the bus for your Bolivian trip, you can start it in La Paz, in Puno or in Cusco and by starting your trip in La Paz, you can choose if you want to take the short route, covering from La Paz to Lake Titicaca, or if you want to go until Cusco, or even until Lima, stopping in different Peruvian cities along the way.

In your Hop Login, you can control exactly what day you want to arrive and leave each city as well as the place you will stay and in case you decide to stay a bit longer in one city, you can update the information on your Hop Login at least one day before.

You can pick another date to leave or even let you stay on hold if you are not sure of when you will leave.

To give you, even more, comfort, Bolivia Hop crew picks you up and drops you out right in front of your hotel or hostel, so you don’t need to worry about running to the bus station or to a meet point and finding your bus.

Crossing the Border

We know that crossing borders can be complicated sometimes, but being a Bolivia Hopper you have the crew to help you during the immigration between Bolivia and Peru or vice versa.

You can check all the documentation needed on their website and if you have any doubt you can always contact Bolivia Hop, and the guides will be always around to assist you with your documentation and immigration process in the frontier and to make sure you won’t pay unnecessary fees in the process.

Facilities

The company counts with two different buses for the trip between Bolivia and Peru, on the Peruvian side, there are luxury buses available, definitely the most comfortable buses you will find in Peru.

They offer 40 semi-bed seats, toilets, TVs, a temperature-controlled air system, etc, everything to make sure you will have total comfort in the journey, as these buses are used for the longest travels, like the trip from the border to Cusco.

The buses on the Bolivian side are smaller though, they offer 37 semi-bed seats, TVs but there are no toilets. This is due to the weight restriction involved in crossing Lake Titicaca between Copacabana and La Paz.

Arriving there you will notice that the buses cross the lake via ferry. In the moment of the crossing, all passengers must leave the bus and cross the lake via boat.

Despite the fact of the buses being smaller on the Bolivian side, this won’t affect your trip much as it won’t take you more than 4 hours and a half to get to your final destination.

The Crew

Bolivia Hop counts with the great tour guides, they are all local people who really know and love their country.

Their motivation and good vibes really inspire us along the way! Just like Peru Hop, their organization is impressive, a proof of the hard work of the tour guides, drivers and staff behind the scenes, doing their best to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible for all their passengers.

During our trip from Copacabana to La Paz, our guide, Alejandro, even bought us popcorn to eat while we watched movies!

Discounts

Your Hop Tickets are not limited to giving you an advantage on the road trip, with them you also get a lot of discounts on the way.

In both, Bolivian and Peruvian sides you can get discounts on hotels and hostels (note: in any city of the route but La Paz and Cusco). Besides that, you also get discounts on tours.
