The bus ride was great, but even with multiple multiple layers the bus was incredibly cold from arequipa to puno. A little heat would have been nice. I saw many passengers struggle.
Well I believe this IS a good company, But of course with last travel I am not happy as we had An accident. I think the company did not react correctly, they should someone to pick Us up faster. We were waiting 4 hours in the midlle of nothing and it was very cold. Nobody did not care if anybody IS Hurt.

Econociva Arequipa Puno recent customer reviews
Seat didn't recline, the heat was so high that there was no chance of sleeping, I took off everything I could and still remain decent, but I spent the whole trip boiling still, then a 3 hour wait for my connecting bus instead of the 30 minutes the schedule indicated.
Don’t seat in seat 15. I seemed to be sitting on top of the heater for the entire floor and it was awful. I felt like I was suffocating. Eventually at 1 am I told the driver to turn the heat off because I was so miserable.
The overall experience on the bus was descent. It was freezing, but I felt safe and it was clean-ish. The staff was really kind though I wish the arrival time was a bit more accurate. I arrived 2 hours early putting me in puno at 3:30am.
