The bus said I would arrive at 830am in Ica. I got in at 4am and was very shocked when they woke me up and told me to get off.
According to customer reviews, this night bus provides fairly comfortable seats for sleeping. However, there have been complaints about a smelly toilet and loud videos playing late at night.

Strangest way of dealing with baggage. They asked everyone to go back inside the terminal to the counter to drop their baggage off, this resulted in many people scrambling just before departure to check baggage in.

The bus smelt of sewage all night and we were already running 3 hours late in the morning when the bus broke down, we were left waiting for taxis on the side of the motorway in the desert at peak midday heat

At 11P.M they stopped the bus to let 2 woman get in and yell for 5 minutes for us to get some pollo sandwich while everyone was trying to sleep. Didn’t Ofer a blanked, the toilet didn’t have paper, and no one to supervise and tell people not to blast their tik tok videos all night.
