Debido al inconveniente en la carretera cruz del sur debe estar preparado y por lo menos tener botellas de agua para no deshidratar a los pasajeros q sin comer estuvimos todo el día ….
Their staff cough at my back again and again.The toilet is not clean,smell bad.my seat is close to the toilet,
We spent 35 soles on a taxi to Plaza Norte, and then the bus came back into Lima and we probably could have boarded the bus much closer to Barranco where we were staying. Food was cold and unappealing. The entertainment system was great but one of our set's was broken so my partner couldn't use his. The tray tables inour row were also broken. When the person in front put their seats down to sleep, the tray tables were hanging down on our legs, leaving very limited space. When we asked the very unfriendly host on the bus how much it would cost to move to the extra large seats below, she said it would cost 110 soles. Was that including the price we already paid? When I signed up for the bus, I did not notice an option to get an extra large seats. Absolutely no wifi.

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
The bus bit a big truck. The passengers were not informed about what that meant. Four hours later we were transferred to another bus. The rioting on the road added even more time to the trip. I understand Superciva is not responsible for the rioting but it is for the accident.
Generally the trip was good. But we paid for a bus with usb charger, something very important for us, and in the bus there wasn't charger. The staff of the bus until last moment was telling us that will find a charger and never told us clearly that we couldn't charge. When we complained about that at the kiosk of the company at the terminal they didn't even charge our phones for 5 minutes we asked. They didn't even try. We could choose the superciva for our next route but of course we didn't. They told us also for our next route we asked that there is a possibility for the bus to have usb charger but they couldn't know.
