Ferry + Bus to Punta del Este from Buenos Aires

  • 1 review | 27 travellers
    Everything very organized and completed. In Puerto Madero, upon checking in, they gave me the ferry and bus ticket. The ferry is very nice, with comfortable chairs, a store inside for food and cosmetics, and a currency exchange house. Upon arriving at the port in Colonia, the staff guided me to board the bus, which was very nice, clean and super comfortable.
