You will probably visit Peru only once in your lifetime.
You want to maximize your visit, see and do as much as you can in this incredibly diverse and beautiful country.
You want an authentic local experience, to get to know some Peruvians and learn their culture and get insights into what life is (and was) like for people living in Peru.
As well as this, you also want to feel safe in a country where you probably don’t speak the local language.
Peru Hop does ALL of the above and much much more!
Peru Hop is a bus/travel company developed by Irish and Peruvian partners to give travelers a safe and easy way to discover the REAL Peru.
It was only after our Irish owners lived in Peru did they realize they had missed so many amazing places and so developed Peru Hop so other travelers wouldn’t make the same mistake.
We want to show you Peru through the eyes of a local. Our drivers know the hidden gems, the stops between the stops that tourists would never find, and are also happy to share stories of what life was and is like in Peru along the way. An authentic local experience with European standards of safety and service.
Our core concept is hop on hop off. Buy 1 ticket and you can hop on and off at cities and towns all across Peru. No bus terminals, no taxis, no stress!
More importantly, we are able to stop at hidden gems that public buses cannot (as they want to get from A to B as quickly as possible) to give you a truly local and authentic experience.
You are also in full control of your trip. You decide where to go, how long to stay, what hotel or Airbnb to stay at, and when to get back on the next bus… we just assist and advise you.

There is a myth that Peru Hop is a “touristy” way to travel and that doing it by yourself on local public buses is more “authentic”. But on public buses, you miss out on incredible hidden gems and you do NOT learn about the culture, the people and the history of places you pass by…doesn’t sound so authentic to us!
Peru Hop offers a MUCH more complete experience of Peru.
Yes, we give you the huge safety benefits that comes with traveling with a company owned by Irish guys living in Peru. Yes it is a very easy and stress free way to travel. And yes you will travel on a bus of fellow travelers from across the world and not on a bus full of Peruvians going to work.
But we also stop at hidden gems along the way allowing you to see the REAL Peru (things we only discovered living in Peru).
We also have a local Peruvian on each bus who will more than likely become great friends with you (see past reviews) and will give you insights into life growing up in Peru that you simply won’t get from any guidebook or blogger.

Don't believe us? Find the best local bus company, find their Tripadvisor page, and then read the reviews. Then read Peru Hop reviews. We are far from perfect, but we promise you a much better traveling experience seeing more and paying less!
Book With Confidence
You are able to change your departure dates at no extra cost if you were to change your plans.
Find My Perfect TripWhen comparing our prices, add up the costs of all the journeys we include in the pass you are interested in. Then, add on all taxi costs to/from each terminal and the time you waste doing this. Then add on the real cost of our free stops at hidden gems compared to trying to do them yourself.
You will see that not only do we offer safety and comfort, but our prices represent incredible value too for everything that Peru Hop offers.
Peru is probably a once in a lifetime trip for you. Don’t ruin it sat on a public bus full of bored locals trying to get to work as fast as possible with crazy drivers!
Discover the REAL Peru with Peru Hop, make friends along the way, and make the most of your once in a lifetime trip to this amazing country!
