Getting around by bus and coach Chile

Certainly one of the best bus companies from/to the other cities of the country. Many departures are regularly scheduled to the capital of Santiago and to the other cities of the country, in the north as in the south. You can buy your tickets directly at the bus terminal, but the company also has the advantage of offering online booking. In this case, there is no obligation to print your tickets, you will only have to show your tickets on your phone. For the night trips, prefer the seats in category cama.

Nicknamed the Estacion Central, this terminal has a good number of bus companies such as Tur Bus, Pullman, JAC, Condor Bus. Most of the companies serve the cities north of the capital and the coast. Every day there are many departures to Valparaiso, Viña del Mar, Rancagua, Talca, Iquique, Arica, La Serena and Coquimbo. There are also less frequent departures to the south of the country to Concepcion, Temuco, Pucon, Puerto Montt or Osorno.

From Santiago, several bus companies (Turbus, Condor, Pullman...) make the trip almost every hour. When you arrive, a small kiosk dedicated to tourist information will give you a map to find your way. There are regular departures to the north of the country, to La Serena, Vallenar, Copiapó, then Antofagasta, Iquique or Calama. For the southern cities (Temuco, Osorno, Puerto Varas or Puerto Montt), the buses pass by the capital and stop there.

La Serena and all northern cities are served and Santiago (about 6 to 7 hours bus). For Valparaíso, several companies (including Expreso del Norte) stop from La Serena and go directly (via La Calera).
