Bus station Chile

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).

Very numerous departures to Santiago and the main cities of the south (especially with Tur Bus), but also to regional destinations such as Bucalemu (Jet Sur Bus), Pichilemu (Nilahue and Pullman del Sur), Santa Cruz (bus Nilahue, Jet Sur and Expreso Santa Cruz). 

This large terminal serves in particular the southern region of Chile. Choose for example Bus Norte to Puerto Montt and intermediaries, or Línea Azul. The Nilahué company goes to the Las Trancas Valley and the thermal baths of Chillán several times a day. The Pullman del Sur company goes to Pichilemu, on the coast, every hour and to Santa Cruz every two hours. There are also departures to Mendoza, Argentina with Cata Internacional, El Rápido and Tas Choapa. The journey takes approximately 5 hours.
