Really easy journey. The drivers helped me complete the forms to enter Chile. The bathroom on the bus was clean and the seats were comfortable. I will use this company again

Arrival into Puerto Varas was an hour late but this was due to Frontier delays. Sadly, my jacket disappeared during the trip, most likely stolen at one of the frontier stops - Be alert and do not leave anything on the bus. The bus didn't have WiFi and drop off in Puerto Varas was on the street and chaotic.
