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.
According to customer reviews, the bus ride was great overall. However, multiple passengers mentioned that the bus was incredibly cold from Arequipa to Puno, making it difficult for them to sleep. Some customers suggested that a little heat would have been nice during the journey.

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.
The bus had an accident and after that the staff handled everything very bad. Groups of people were brought to Puno by different busses that were passing by but we couldn’t bring our luggage because of the accident. When we arrived in Puno no one knew where the luggage was
