I was going to take a bus to Cartagena - a friendly "traveller catcher" at the bus terminal persuaded me to go with Torcoroma, because it was a bit cheaper than Berlinas which I was going to take. In the middle of the journey I suddenly had to get out and wait at a shady place by a road in Barranquilla. Even though I spoke Spanish, nobody was answering my questions, why I had to get out and when I can get to Cartagena. They were very disrespectful and pretended to ignore my questions by showing they go in and out of their ears. Never again Torcoroma - very disappointing!! Take another agency!!
