Andesmar Calama Salta recent customer reviews
They were by the side of the road. It was difficult to find where the day before but we asked at the bus station. They were there early so we didn't have to wait around and set off on time. The driver was careful and safe, a toilet on board which was clean. We only stopped once just after the border for food, so bring snacks and water. Border crossing was well arranged. We did arrive 1 hour later but we had to change a tyre just before Salta.
