Bus from Punta Arenas airport to Puerto Natales

Curious what the answer to this question was.... hoping to take the bus from the airport to PN in late February.

Thanks!

Hi Borealisak. I´m back from Chile!. At last I couldn´t prebook the bus tickets from Spain. When I arrived to Chile I tried to call and it was impossible!. There are some companies doing this route. It takes about 3 hours. I had to buy the ticket once I was there, so I had to go by taxi from the airport to the Bus Sur office in Punta Arenas (about 10 minutes and you can share a van with others at the airport). Be careful because Bus Sur has moved to a new office (the newest is on Colón st.). My flight arrived at 5:00 in the morning and I had enough time to go to Punta Arenas by taxi and buy the ticket, but there was only one free seat. Next bus was at 10 in the morning.The are some companies doing the same rout but I recommend you Bus Sur (big buses, new, with wc). The schedule is as follow...

7:00
10:00
12:30
15:00
17:15
19:00
21:00

(is the same for Punta Arenas-Puerto Natales than Puerto Natales-Punta Arenas)
Price: 6.000 CLP (one way) or 11.000 roundtrip

The bus stopped at Punta Arenas airport and I had to go to Punta Arenas and then stop at the airport but I couldn´t buy or book the ticket in advance). It´s a waste of time, I know, but things work like this in Chile.

Bus Sur email is:

Hope I helped you
