Peru Hop is a flexible, hop-on-hop-off style bus service designed for travelers who want to explore Peru’s highlights between Lima and Cusco without the hassle of planning each connection. Their most popular route is Lima → Paracas → Huacachina → Nazca → Arequipa → Puno → Cusco, but you can customize with stops along the way.

The service combines transportation + guided stops. Along the journey, you’ll see sights like the Paracas National Reserve, Islas Ballestas, the Nazca Lines, and even hidden gems like the slave tunnels of Hacienda San José. The guides share cultural and historical context, and the buses are modern, safe, and traveler-friendly.

We used Peru Hop for the Lima to Puno to Cusco route and loved that we could cover so much ground while still experiencing local culture along the way. It felt like part sightseeing tour, part transportation, and a great way to meet fellow travelers.

Pro Tip: If your schedule allows, spend a night or two in Paracas or Huacachina, and a few days in Arequipa, instead of rushing through as day trips. Some of our favorite Peru memories came from the stops between destinations.
