There is no information about correct place to check in. Terminal de buquebus in google map pointed port, not Tres Cruces. I almost miss the bus.
Buquebus offers a unique travel experience as it operates with catamaran ferries, which some travelers may not expect. While the boarding process is generally satisfactory, there are concerns about the requirement for printed tickets and limited visibility due to fogged windows on the ferry affecting overall enjoyment.
Buquebus Montevideo Buenos Aires recent customer reviews
The boarding experience was Ok, however it is punative to only allow printed tickets - luckily I checked. I was very dissatisfied not to be able to see anything from the fogged windows of the ferry, it completely destroyed the experience
