Recommend - Haven’t tried a lot of bus trip here but this one is surprisingly good. Our tour guide Enrique is very passionate and knowledgeable about Inca and pre-Inca history, he’s a good guide to know about the region and how the truth is. Lunch is great in a clean and nice-view restaurant. Would recommend to anyone who wants a chill and comfortable bus trip.

Great way to get from Puno to Cusco - Bus service that I used more than once to get from Puno to Cusco, alone or with friends. The journey is long, but the seats are comfortable, there is a bathroom on board and cabin crew are available and serve both hot and cold drinks. On board there is a guide, the last time Henrique, very competent, who introduces the group to the sites where it stops and tells facts and anecdotes of the place and the people who lived there. The stops are Pucara, Raqchi and Andahuaylillas. Entrance fees are not included and must be purchased on board. I recommend all three. Another stop is in Abra la Raya, on the border between the territory of Puno and Cusco. Included in the package is the buffet lunch near Sicuani, quite varied.

I highly recommend it. - I recommend the tour for anyone going to Puno. Most visits are poor, but stops help a lot. We don't even feel ten o'clock. The guide, sir. Eduardo, it was sensational. Truly incredible person. They offer a snack upon departure and lunch is included. Lunch was very good, a lot of variety, everything very well done.

Very comfortable. Lazy excursions. - Cool bus. Wide seats, very reclining, super comfortable. They gave you a bag with water, cookies and a juice. On the other hand, the excursions left a lot to be desired, only the last two stops are worth it. The food is average although the landscape is beautiful.
