Guatego San José Monte Verde recent customer reviews
We arrived 2 hours later than planned. We didn’t receive seat numbers on our ticket so we had to stand a part of the trip. There was not enough space for your legs and there was no electricity on the bus. I loved the view during the trip and the fact that the windows were open.
