Marga El Chaltén Esquel recent customer reviews

We paid for the higher priced seats which had more room and included a snack. The seats were very comfortable and nearly felt like a bed. Everyone got a snack bit it was a shame that there wasn't a vegetarian option as we are veggies. The toilet was't great as it didnt flush well and had no toilet paper or hand wash. The staff were nice and the 19 hour journey wasn't half as painful as it could have been.
