Vicuna Travel La Paz Arequipa recent customer reviews
It wasn't good. At first, we took a minibus (which was not informed in advance) from La Paz to the Peruvian border. We left an hour late. We had to walk across the border (vs. when we came to Bolivia, we only stepped out from the bus for passport control). The seats were old and hard to sit on. There wasn’t enough room for legs (had to keep them on the aisle). People were smoking in the lavatory and in the bus (yes, u read it right!). The toilet was ancient and smelled absolutely horrible. Cherry on the top, we arrived at Arequipa over 2 hours late.
We arrived 7hrs later than the foreseen time of arrival. We stopped frequently along the road, we stopped for 2hrs because of a roadblock, there were technical issues with the bus so we needed tot change to another bus but had to wait for 2 hours to get on the other bus. Then we also stopped frequently and unnecessarily long… we arrived at 2h30 am instead of 7h30 pm
Arrived late by 5 hours. Started with a minibus to the border and had multiple stops which wasn't stated on purchase
