We booked a Pullman bus to bring us from San Pedro de atacama Chile to Salta in Argentina. We booked the upper floor and the two seats at the front. They definitely had the most leg room and had no one reclining on us which was great. The bus was fairly grubby and the toilet was basic but it was ok. The bus was 1hour late leaving the station. The Pullman office in the station didn't open until a few minutes before the bus arrived. Luckily we had bought our tickets in advance online. The bus was meant to take 11 hours and arrive at 7pm but instead we arrived at 10PM!!! The bus didn't didn't even make one food stop the whole journey so come prepared!! It pulled over several times for the bus drivers to check the bus because there was a smell of burning?? The drivers asked us for tips at the end. We found this hilarious considering we were 3 hours delayed!! The views are incredible. The left hand side sees more of the mountains initially! read more

After seeing all of the horrible reviews for TurBus I was afraid to take any buses in Chile thinking I would get robbed on the way to my destination. I couldn't find any bad reviews on Pullman so we decided to take this bus line instead. Honestly it was a seamless experience and felt quite safe. We went to Viña Del Mar and decided to take the bus from the Pajaritos bus station because it is significantly less crowded than Alameda. Plus it's only 1h20m from Pajaritos vs 1h50m from Alameda. Avoid the busy bus stop and take the metro to Pajaritos if you can. It's easy to take on the Red Line. read more
