OCC San Cristóbal de las Casas Palenque recent customer reviews

Nice service at the station in San Cristobal . The seats are hard, beaten but the ride was smooth. The lunch stop was very short and not much to choose from. The bus stopped in 4 towns before finally getting to destination, Palenque.

while I was asleep, someone stole all of my money out of my wallet which was in my bag in the pocket of the back of the seat in front of me.

Bus was cancelled, I was not notified and there were no Cristobal Colon staff on hand to help. I had to get an OCC bus instead which took over 8 hours due to the different route.
