Where the Mountains Touch the Sky and Time Stands Still

Bus from Cusco to Puno

Just got back from a bus trip from Cusco to Puno and wanted to share some info for anyone planning the same route. I ended up taking a night bus with Ormeño, it was a bit of a rough ride but the views of the lake at dawn were amazing. The bus company said it would be 6 hours but we hit traffic in Juliaca so it took more like 8. Anyone else have any experience with this route or other companies they'd recommend?
