    Hey,

    Thanks for the informative post! A friend and I are planning to fly from Coyhaique to Santiago in late November, and were wondering if you knew of an economic way to get to Pucon. Is it best to fly? Or drive/bus? I tried looking things up but didn’t find much.

      Hey, I don’t think that you can fly to Pucón from Santiago. Therefore the cheapest way to get to Pucon from Santiago appears to be by bus. If you go back into my Pucón, Chile post, you can scroll down to “How To Get There.” Click on to the “Turbus” link. Turbus is one of three bus companies that serve Santiago to Pucón. And this website is in English. I did a random search to get some current prices. The cheapest seats are around $23 USD one way. This bus ride takes 11-12 hours. You can get different types of seats. I took a night bus and got a full bed for around $45 USD one way. If you are staying at a hostel in Santiago, I’m sure they will most likely be able to help you book bus tickets. If you do a search on the Turbus website, you will see the prices in Chilean Pesos. The cheapest ticket that I found was shown online like this “$14.900.” This means 14,900 Pesos or approximately $23 USD. If you take the price and drop the period then enter it in a currency converter, this will give you an approximate price in the currency that you are using. I hope this helps! If you have any more questions, I will be happy to help!
