Cruz del Sur Puno Arequipa recent customer reviews
The Cruz del Sur terminal experience in Puno was pretty straight forward and the staff was professional and helpful. The bus departed on time. The bus itself was a little dated, but clean. My only real complaint was that it was very hot on the bus. We departed at 1430 and arrived on time at 2030. Getting off the bus was confusing in that we were originally directed into the building to get our checked bags only to be told to return to the bus for the bags. Overall not a bad experience. We took the Cruz del Sur Evolution series.
The bus was cancelled three hours before departure because of insufficient numbers of passengers
Very good trip, safe driving. Just traffic was bad. Very happy with journey and quality of bus. Thks

Econociva Puno Arequipa recent customer reviews
Arrived one hour later. But other than that everything was fine. The staff was helpful and nice
Beaucoup plus d’arrêts qu’on le pensait et les gens locaux étaient très impatients par moment ce qui était trés désagréable.
The bus was over a half hour late picking up. Then, we waited at another stop longer than was scheduled. Then, the bus broke down for an hour, and the driver wouldn't let anyone off. I understand that mechanical issues happen, but the driver could have opened the door to let people use a clean toilet, stretch their legs, smoke, anything but be locked inside the bus for an hour.
