Transportation in the South of Chile
The bus systems in Southern Chile are some of the best in South America. Here we include general information for riding buses in the South of Chile. Please also see our transportation sections under each destination, town, or city for specific information on locations of bus stations, photos of bus stations, and extra information.

National Bus System 

Bus stations are clean and well run. The national bus system is simply one of the best in Latin America. Depending on your budget, the service on the buses can run from a simple seat to treatment like you were a first class passenger on the Concord. Overnight buses are a great deal for moving from region to region.

Micros

However, for those who miss the chaotic systems of places like Guatemala, there is still just a taste of that in the micro system, without much of the associated dangers. One of the traditions still upheld is the ability to jump on a bus at just about any point in the country. Bus stops and just waving one down on the side of the road or highway is very common and insures that you will never have to wait long, even in more remote locations. This is also true to a great degree of the long hall national bus systems, but you might find yourself standing.
