Arauca Manizales Pereira recent customer reviews
There was no experience cause everything canceled due to road blocks... no information in advance, no info on alternatives, nothing on compensation neither... I understand it is complicated, but there are more customer centric options to handle these crisis situations

I would like to say that the bus was late because they were waiting for my husband and I. We got to the bus station late, but they waited. I was incredibly relieved that they did, too!
