We couldnt take the journey cause there was a huge accident on the road, 100 m of the road was collapsed on the route. As we saw this on the news we went to the office to ask for the bus and the office said it is not their problem nor responsibilty, they send the bus anyways causing big trouble for so many people. Meanwhile our tickets are wasted cause we couldnt take this bus under the circumstances and couldnt find a way to cancel or exchange.

Okay bus seats and we arrived on time. The driver seemed to be quite safe. Good luck with certain locals playing reels on full volume at 2am.

I was worried as the reviews weren't great for either companies that go to Rurrenabaque from La Paz, but the bus was fine. Seats reclined, charging ports worked, hardly anyone on the bus, the driver drove safely and we arrived early.
