Arequipa to Chivay Destination Reviews

Eric The bus and driving itself was good. The sad issue is the driver refused to turn on the air conditioner for the majority of the trip, multiple complaints of how hot it got in the back. Had to constantly be knocking on the door asking for the A/C to be turned, which he would for moments and then turn it back off. The heat at moments was nearly unbearable and semi dangerous for the elder and young which we had both. This is unacceptable and I will be launching additional formal complaints.

Samara DThe bus was hot, there was airconditioning but for some reason it only worked a couple minutes every hour. When we arived in Chivay it would only be 1 more hour to Cabanaconde but a lot of local people got it, it didn’t fit. And it took us 1,5 hours extra because they stoped in every village.

Boaz DWe had a great bike tour with Raoul, a super friendly guide who adapts to your pace. It was especially nice to get out of the city centre and see more of the surrounding area. The traffic is a bit hectic in the begin, but after a while you get away from it and the ride becomes really relaxed. The tour does require a basic level of fitness.

Joel FBus didn't depart from the terminal but from the other side of Arequipa. We had to go there by car with 7 people and our luggage on our laps. Not really safe. After that, bus departed way too late because the the driver thought that he didn't had earned enough money yet.

Susan DNothing worked in the bus - the air conditioning was non existent, the seat belt on my husbands seat was broken and reclining the seat was impossible.

Francois We arrived nearly on time, but the bus wasn't climatised, and the restroom was down (for a 6h trip, it is difficult)
