Tips for a Comfortable Overland Trip from Cusco to Arequipa

The road journey between Cusco and Arequipa is one of the most breathtaking routes in southern Peru. Whether you choose a tourist bus or a direct service, this route crosses Andean landscapes, high plains, and valleys that deserve to be enjoyed stress-free.

If you’re planning this trip, here are key recommendations for traveling comfortably, safely, and with the best possible experience. And if you prefer, you can book with us and forget about all the logistical details.

Choose the Schedule That Fits Your Travel Style

• Night buses are ideal if you want to rest during the journey. Departing in the afternoon from Cusco and arriving in Arequipa at dawn, they save you a night at a hotel.

• Daytime tourist buses allow you to enjoy the landscapes with informative stops along the way.

With us, you can select the perfect schedule according to your plan and comfort.

Pick the Right Seat

For a long journey, the type of seat makes all the difference:

• 180° or bed-style seats for deep sleep

• Front seats if you are prone to motion sickness

• Upper deck seats on panoramic buses for the best views

When you book with us, we guide you to the best seat based on your preferences.

Don’t Improvise: Book in Advance

Although buses run daily, during high season the best seats are quickly booked. Reserving early:

• Guarantees the best fare

• Secures your preferred bus and seat

• Avoids unnecessary waits at terminals

We handle everything quickly and securely for you.

What to Bring for a Pleasant Trip

Even though it’s not an extreme route, the journey is long (10–12 hours). We recommend bringing:

• A light blanket or jacket

• Neck pillow

• Snacks and personal water

• Headphones, books, or entertainment

• Documents and digital tickets ready

All our services include support before and during the trip.

With us, you get:

• Safe and comfortable buses

• Personalized attention before and after the trip

• Recommendations based on the season
