Inca Express bus

When we think of buses in Central or South America, we often think of old buses where people ride on the top. Well, our bus from Cusco to Puno, the Gateway to Lake Titicaca, was the Inca Express (office in Puno and Lima and at Av. La Paz C-32 Urb El Ovalo, Wanchaq, Cusco, Peru; phone 084 247887, www.inkaexpress.com) and was large and quite nice.

The trip took nearly 10 hours and covered about 235 miles. We stopped often to visit missions or to take a rest stop and eat.

All seats aboard the bus were reserved. I had an aisle seat and initially was not happy that I did not have a window; however, at midday the October sun was extremely hot and I was pleased I had the cooler aisle seat.
