Getting Around

:: Plane: Airlines tend to fly to and from capital cities, with connections to most major cities and tourist centres. Check out www.aerolineas.com, www.lan.com, www.lade.com, www.skyairline.cl or www.flypluna.com for details!

:: Buses: You can get virtually everywhere in South America by bus. Take a bus for a more cost-effective and culturally thrilling experience. Overnight trips are quite comfortable, often including meals, films, and attendant services.

:: Car rental: For a personalized adventure through the countryside, you can always travel by car.  Companies generally operate in most towns and cities and you can save some bucks if you are travelling in a group.

:: Taxis or remises: Cheap and reliable, taxis and remises (private taxis) provide quick transportation within city limits.  Simply flag them down with an outstretched arm, or call them in advance.

:: Local buses: Sometimes very efficient, but unless you know the city very well, it can be a bit confusing. In Argentina they are called “colectivos”, but in Chile this word means “shared taxi”, a car where you travel with other people. Local buses in Chile are called “micros”.
