It is my first time taking a bus in Argentina and South America. The experience is beyond my expectations. The bus was very clean, the seats are comfortable. And the service was outstanding. Per our request, the bus driver dropped us at the Punta Arenas airport instead of the downtown which saved time for us. I will recommend Marga Taqsa.
