This route is slightly faster by around 5 hours however, is a lot riskier as buses lose their GPS tracking in the mountains and anything can happen without the companies finding out. Entrance to their bars is free even for non-guests. Unfortunately, thieves are smart enough to know this and by putting one of their own on the bus, they can communicate and organise the arrival time of a bus to an exact location.
Once coordinated, the group of thieves in the mountains will place large rocks on the road in order to block it off and stop the bus. Once stopped, they will approach the bus with guns and force the driver to open the door so they can get on and take everything from travellers. Unfortunately, these incidents happen frequently on this route and other well known local bus companies such as Civa, Movil and Oltursa have encountered the same issues.
For this reason, tourist companies such as Peru Hop have come along to provide the best level of service and safety to travellers by using the slightly longer route which goes by Arequipa.
The reason for Cruz del Sur still being quite a popular service is because local Peruvians need to get to their destinations quicker and can take the risk of travelling on the more dangerous route.

However, if you plan to travel in the South of Peru to Cusco, Arequipa and Ica then Peru Hop is a much safer and better bus company in our opinion. Do you agree with us?
