Perfectly on time! Smooth driving, comfortable seats and clean bathroom. However it was very cold on the bus, even with two layers of clothing. There was also no food stops during the 18 hours, so be Award of that.
All in all still a great experience.

Bus was very comfy, probably the best night bus we have travelled on. Seats reclined and were easy to sleep in, curtains for privacy and tv screens on each seat. We were provided with a small sandwich and bottle of water which was nice. Only comment would be it is a long time (17hours) with no stop or chance to get off the bus.

The seats were very spacious and comfy. I didn't like that the bus didn't have WiFi and there were super loud movies playing until late at night that involved a lot of screams and killings

Superciva Bus can be a good experience but 2 hours late departure and 5 hours late arrival was not okay. Also, it said in the booking no other stopps but we stopped in Ica and Nazca. But at least I arrived in one piece
