Cusco-Puerto Maldonado bus - should we book ahead?
Hi again,
I can't find direct flights Cusco-Puerto Maldonado on a specific date (or else crazy expansive...).
I'm thinking of taking the night bus (the 'bus-cama' with the recliners..)..
Do you recommend to book them well ahead or can we wait till last minute?
We're traveling with kids so I can't be too spontaneous but on the other hand I hate missing a decent flight deal ..
Thanks!

No need to book that far ahead. It is usually possible to get seats on the day unless you want to be all seated together or want VIP/Suite/ Ejecutivo seats (aka full-camp). The latter are always a good idea for overnight buses as you get wide, lie flat seats, similar to airline business class on the lower deck (where there is less swaying around on mountain roads.
I assume you will need to travel on a particular day? If so, there is little point in waiting as air fares are very unlikely to fall close to departure, esp for 4 tickets.
I have heard that companies like Cruz del Sur offer cheaper tickets on their Peruvian site than on the english language site ( although I haven’t tested the theory!)

thanks for the info.
Yeah...I've noticed cheaper flight prices in the LATAM Peruvian website...they require 'peruvian issued credit card' however...weird...
If I take the bus I'll definitely take the VIP option..
