Bolivia Hop – #1 Bus Company In Bolivia

As well as an unbeatable safety record, Bolivia Hop is also famous for its punctuality and comfort. In South America, where things often run later than scheduled, we are very proud to say we achieve a 98.5% on-time arrival for each trip.

If comparing Bolivia Hop to other bus companies, make sure you check their safety record, past accidents, as well as their Tripadvisor page (if they even bother to have one) as often you will find there is a reason why some bus companies have “cheaper” prices than Bolivia Hop.

Our Buses on the Peruvian side

• 40 semi-bed reclining seats: All with sponge foam pads for added comfort.
• Modern and clean toilet: Unlike public buses that often smell bad and are not cleaned regularly.
• High-tech temperature controlled air system: We ensure it is never too hot or too cold.
• 3 LCD TVs on board: Just sit back and enjoy English-speaking movies on longer journeys.
• Highest quality brake and suspension system: To ensure that every passenger has a smooth and seamless journey.
• Blankets for every passenger: Snuggle up and get some sleep on longer trips.

Our Buses on the Bolivian side

• 37 semi-bed reclining seats: Other companies try to cram 40+ seats on these smaller Bolivian buses.
• Big duvet blankets for every passenger: Snuggle up and get some sleep on longer trips.
• LCD TVs: Just sit back and enjoy English speaking movies on longer journeys.
• A well-qualified Bolivian driver: Knows all the roads well and gets plenty of rest, unlike on other companies.
• Lake crossing capabilities between Copacabana and La Paz: Our bus is purposely built for crossing the lake. Don’t worry, passengers cross on a different boat. Some companies put passengers on the bus as it floats across the lake to try save some money, which is CRAZY!
• Does NOT include an onboard toilet as the bus cannot be bigger due to weight restrictions involved in crossing Lake Titicaca between Copacabana and La Paz (buses need to float across the Lake). NO COMPANY operating this route has an onboard toilet due to these size restrictions. Public toilets ARE available at the Strait of Tiquina, the crossing point of the lake (one hour from Copacabana, 2hours 30 from La Paz).

Bus Safety

• Large team of drivers: Our drivers are not overworked/tired as is often the case on other buses.
• Tour guide onboard: Our tour guide does regular checks on the drivers.
• Seatbelts: We have a seatbelt for every passenger and ask our passengers to wear them at all times.
• 24 hour GPS monitoring: Every bus is monitored from a secure point via GPS…we always know where the bus is and if it is taking any unscheduled stops.
• Constant contact: The drivers and the guide communicate continuously by telephone with the Bolivia Hop and Peru Hop office.
• No tight deadlines: Our drivers are under NO pressure to arrive at a certain time, no need for increased speed or unnecessary risks.
• Lake crossing capabilities between Copacabana and La Paz Our bus is purposely built for crossing the lake. Don’t worry, passengers cross on a different boat. Some companies put passengers on the bus as it floats across the lake to try save some money, which is CRAZY!
