Considerations for the Bus Tour from Cusco to Puno:

What Does It Mean That the Tour Is Shared?

It means you will share the tour with a group of tourists from different nationalities and ages, including those from Guru Explorers and other operators. It’s a great opportunity to connect with travelers from around the world! Please note that this type of tour is operated by Guru Explorers or our strategic partners who adhere to the same standards. If you prefer a tour where you do not share with others, please request a Private Tour option.

For shared tours, one day before the tour date, you will be assigned a pickup time range and an approximate return time. Please be punctual to avoid delays for other passengers. Additionally, the tour duration may vary depending on the group’s pace. The return time may vary due to local traffic, which is why we provide an approximate schedule. Please remember that traffic and the pace of tourists are not the responsibility of Guru Explorers.

Other Considerations:

• For transportation from Cusco, please note that access may be limited due to the narrow streets of the city; if this is the case, the guide will suggest a nearby pickup point.
• Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
• Remember that, since these are outdoor activities, the natural features of the landscape may vary depending on weather conditions and the natural daylight. Each visit is an authentic experience, where nature reveals itself in unique and unrepeatable ways.

• Pets
• Smoking
• Large suitcases or bags

Not Recommended For:

According to Peruvian regulations, foreign tourists may be exempt from the local tax IGV (VAT). As a formal and registered travel agency, we are required to submit to the local authorities a copy of the document you used to enter the country, as well as your date of entry. For this reason, a few days before your arrival, we will contact you to request a photo of that document and ask you to let us know the date you entered Peru. If we do not receive this information, we will be required to add the 18% corresponding to the IGV tax.
