Check in and ticketing was easy and great. The first 12 hours or so we only had one long stop, then I fell asleep and we had a coffee break in the morning. Maybe I just misunderstood something

The bus arrived at Foz de Iguazu only at 16:00, one hour and 20 minutes later than it was supposed to, so we couldn't go to the Brazilian side of the falls like we planned. Also, the bus had no WiFi.

Buena empresa, en general todo óptimo. Entre los asientos semicama el espacio para estirar los pies es bastante (más espacio que en el coche de catarinense) y suficiente para una persona que mide 1.80-1.90m. Para una distancia tan larga recomiendo tomar un coche cama. Pluma hace menos paradas que catarinense y por eso tarda unas horas menos. Las parasdas que hace son suficientes.
