Pucón Pucon, Chile to Bariloche, AR
Posted: Wed April 16, 2008 04:10 PM UTC
Anyone know of ideas how to get from Pucon, Chile to Bariloche? I've heard that you can take a bus to Puerto Madryn, and then to Bariloche, but is there a direct bus that goes from Pucon to Bariloche? Any help would be great!

There probably is. You may have to change somewhere but I'm sure you will find one. Tur Bus are te biggest bus company so check out what they have got. Pullman also run a lot of routes. I recommend heading down to Puerto Montt and then travelling by bus/boat combo to Bariloche through the lakes and national park. It's more expensive but you get stunning views.

Thanks! How long does the bus take from Puerto Montt to Bariloche? I heard of this route, but people said there's not much in Puerto Montt, that's why I wanted to go straight from Pucon to Bariloche. Is the bus drive scenic? How much is that bus? I hear the ferry is very expensive.

I'll tell all I had read. Pucón is nearby Temuco and Valdivia (Take a watch on the Chilean roads I'll send to your VTmail) and at the east side of the chilean roads.
* Bariloche is connected to Chile by a good road till Osomo (Chilean city).
* There is a alternative tour (boat and bus) named as "Cruce de Lagos" that may
carry you away from Osomo to Bariloche.
* Near Bariloche there's a lake named by "Lago Nahuel Hurapi".
So, you ought to have to go to Osomo from Tucon. Then you may go by car/bus
to Bariloche, or buy the "Cruce de Lagos" package.

Puerto Madryn is on the entire other side of Argentina. that is incorrect information, there is no reason to go there.

you will probably have to change buses in Osorno, as mentioned.

You can take a JAC bus from Pucón to Puerto Varas (small and easier to manage than PM) and then get a bus from there through Osorno to Bariloche. No bus goes direct. Several lines do the route.
