Our Pick Ups and Drop Offs

To ensure a better experience, we pick you up directly from your accommodation, if we have too many pick up points, we add extra transfers for better logistics. We come to the door of your accommodation whether you stay in a friend’s house, apartment, air bnb, hostel or hotel. Just make sure you are located inside Lima downtown, San Isidro, Miraflores or Barranco. 

Our Bus

We offer a brand new bus that follows the legal guidelines for tourism and we are the only travel agency registered as a ”transportation company” meaning our name appears directly in the Ministry of Transport and Communications. Look us up with our RUC: 20611188995. Other agencies rent buses from a third party operator, ask in advance.

Safety

Our bus follows the guidelines of security every 6 months and stops twice a month for oil maintenance. This shows the strict compromise that we follow with our clients.

Insurance

No travel agency will mention this, in Peru all buses must have SOAT in order to operate. They all have SOAT, but we go one step higher, we have contracted ”all risk SOAT”, which means we are contracting a much better insurance to take care of our clients. We have also contracted: ”civil liability insurance” for extra care. Those claiming about safety will not offer such detailed insurances since they are not in control of this, again, third party operators. 

Seats

Our bus was originally equípped with 40 seats, nowadays it has 35 seats and we take groups of 33 people on average, making sure the experience is smooth and everyone is travelling comfortably. 

USB Ports

While traveling on a day tour, you need to have your phone charged in order to capture moments and experiences, we have modern USB ports even for Iphones.

Satellite GPS

Our bus is monitored with live location 24/7. All honesty, all buses follow this rule in Peru, don’t let other companies lie, no buses can run without GPS monitoring. 

Seatbelts

You can make sure that we care about safety, all our seatbelts are in great condition, we follow inspections twice a month. 

Air Conditioning

Visiting Ica, one of the most heated cities in Peru, must be a good experience. This is the main reason why we care about our air conditioning system. 

Our Drivers

We are proud to mention we are the only travel agency that is also registered as a Transportation Company. We have our drivers registered and working directly with us and not a third party company. We make sure our drivers work 15 days a month resting every 2 days and spending a good time with their families but more importantly, working rested and in a good spirit. Most companies make their drivers work 5-6 days a week, since they don’t hire the drivers directly, they are not sure if that driver has rested or not. Ask in advance. 

Headrest

We care about quality service and clean spaces, we use white headrests on our buses to ensure a good environment to travel. 

Bathroom

Check our reviews, we have the most clean bathrooms. We are not afraid of sharing pictures of our bus bathroom. 

Speed Control

We travel on 90KM/HR on highways and on open areas 98KM/HR would be the fastest. Why are we sharing numbers? Simple, if 2 buses depart at the same time and one promises to arrive earlier passing by the same highway the answer is 1. Someone is overpassing the speed limit.
