Tourist Information of Tacna, Peru
-A border city to Arica, Chile
3. National Bus Terminal for Puno
-Terminal Terrestre Collasuyo (Public bus terminal)
-Terminal Terrestre Los Incas (Private bus terminal)
When you'd like to go to Puno, you should take a taxi to these terminals and say terminal to Puno. And these 2 bus terminals are separated and both is located in the unsafe zone. If you travel alone or in the night, pay your attention to the security. I recommend you to use the terminal of Los Incas because it's much popular to the local and a little bit much safer than Collasuyo. Tax of terminal of Collasuyo is 1 sol and Los Incas is free. The counter of the bus companies in these terminals open only the time before the bus leaves.
