Modern van and a good driver made the trip pleasant, though the shuttle was a bit late and didn’t drop us directly at the hostel—we had to walk about 60 meters uphill. Overall, fine ride with decent comfort.

Shuttle Samara – Santa Teresa

Booked last minute the night before, and the shuttle picked us up from our Samara hotel at 8 a.m. The trip to Santa Teresa included two quick bus changes, but staff handled our luggage carefully. Friendly drivers, smooth coordination, and comfortable travel overall.
