The first driver was very friendly and helpful and seemingly a good person
However there was a terrible delay at the border crossing due to legal reason involving the driver, we were help up for nearly five hours.
There were not sufficient meal breaks and stops, once we crossed the border into Argentina, I went 24 hours without eating a proper meal.
