PASSING THROUGH CHIVAY - A city with an influx of tourists, a strategic place and a good location to go to the Colca Valley and also to the Valley of the volcanoes.

Trip Puno to Chivay - We did the tour Puno to Chivay. Excellent way to go to Chivay from Puno without passing through Arequipa if you want to go to the Colca Canyon directly. Very comfortable bus, with toilet. The trip is enriched thanks to our great guide Alessandro who gave us a lot of information ^^ thanks for the trip.

Great trip from Chivay to Puno - Traveled with Nativa Express from Chivay to Puno on July 5th. Our group was a little late to the departure time (< 15 minutes) which we warned about beforehand and it was not a problem, check in and departure went smooth and our guide Lizandro even still took our picture with our day guide before we got on the bus. As there were more passengers than usual we apparently drove a larger bus as opposed to usual vans. The bus was modern, comfortable and spacious, and was the first vehicle with proper three point seatbelts since we arrived in Peru. The aircon was quite loud but they only enabled it intermittently to keep the temp comfortable so it wasn't too annoying. There was some kind of annoying beeping sounds at times though, but again nothing major. Our guide Lizandro was very friendly and informative and must have told us we were his friends more times than there are alpacas in Peru. His English was very good and he communicated all of the info regarding our trip clearly, along with some interesting information about our surroundings. Next to bus-wide announcements he also made rounds around the bus for individual information and advice for Puno. To give some feedback here: he can sometimes talk for a bit too long (but you can tell it is all well-intentioned), and he was quite insistent regarding leaving some feedback for the company, but I can understand that given that it apparently has been a while someone left any reviews despite them saying they would, which he also explained to us in his plea. The trip itself went very smooth other than a small holdup and a control checkpoint but I don't feel the bus company was to blame here. When it started getting too hot while parked our guide enabled the aircon for us. Stops were plenty but not too much, and with good shopping options and some more nice views. At the tail end of our trip someone from our group started suffering bowel trouble, and when it got too bad our guide coordinated with the driver to find the nearest stop for a bathroom which was much appreciated. Lizandro was super helpful here! All in all, a very positive experience and from what we can tell, a solid pick for your transport from Colca to Puno.
