The driver drove carefully and confidently. Our luggage was safe, we got tickets and could only retrieve our bags with them. Seats are comfy, lots of room. There was a box with crackers upon departure and a basic sandwich when we crossed the border. Coffee and limonade too. There was only one bus ahead of us at the crossing so it went fast, maybe 45 mins altogether. First line up is for a passport check up and then the staff offloads luggage to be screened. Whoever has a jar or an unusual content on the bag is called out to have it inspected - no bee products and fruits and vegetables. We ate our fruit before the crossing and we were allowed to take our cheese sandwiches past the border. The road is in a good condition the whole time and the hairpin serpentines are fun! We even arrived to Santiago ahead of time, the border crossing time is calculated into the total journey time.
Wonderful chairs in the bus! Extremely comfortable and spacious. The bus ticket didn't mention the bus company 'CATA' so that made things confusing in Mendoza bus station. Other than that everything was wonderful :)
Bus stopped at a small hospital for 45 min. No explanation that we could understand. Clearing customs went smoothly. Then made another stop at small town to let off a handful of passengers. By then it was 6:30 pm and traffic was terrible. Reached Santiago around 9;30 pm, but so many busses arriving that we had to sit on bus trying to get to entry of bus station. Huge traffic jam of buses. When we finally got off bus, so many people waiting for bus, we could not make our way to taxi. Will NOT ride bus again. My 5 hr trip turned into 10. To top it off, I originally booked a bus with seats at the front. Was told they changed bus so kicked us back a row. Not what I purchased!
The bus was comfortable and it was nice to be given snacks, but when we arrived in Santiago, we sat on the bus for over half an hour before we could even get into the terminal. Then it was a free-for-all for the luggage at the end, with a security guy standing over everyone. I didn’t feel safe in the bus terminals. Also, every time anyone moved our luggage they came up and asked for tips (propina). If this is the case, then the companies need to add a little more to pay the people who move the luggage, as it was extremely rude and irritating to be constantly asked to give them money. If I want to give someone money, I will do it on my own.
Andesmar coaches aren't as comfortable or luxurious as others in Argentina. However they provided a snack and lunch which was unexpected. They were on time, and the driver drove very safely over the Andes.
Overall it was a good experience. But the crew who helps to move the luggage from the bus asked me for money but not other passengers. I felt because I was a foreigner. This was not a good image for Chile.
Comfy bus, lovely food provided. Staff friendly and guided us where to go for the border crossing. Would reccomend
The bus itself was quite comfortable. My only complaint was that the staff played the music quite loud. I could hear it over my own music in my headphones.
The drinks and foods served on the bus were disappointing to us. There was no papers on the toilet. And, there should be a Wi-Fi service on the bus.
Very nice company, clean toilets with is very appreciated!
Very comfortable trip and very scenic. The reason for the bus arriving late was mainly due to the border crossing taking 1.5 hours
CATA is one of the better bus lines with very good service.
Staff very friendly and helpful. Bus comfortable and very clean.
Snacks and simple lunch, plus drinks, are provided. Wifi is available on board, but no USB power supply.
Very clean bus and toilet facilities. Seat has plenty of leg room and sowage space. On board snacks and drink. Very comfortable ride from Mendoza to Santiago. Drivers didnt speak English, a bit confusing at border crossing. However, great driving skills and speed limits observed. A great experience on this famous road trip.
Very clean and comfort. I will use Cata again!
Bus was ok but the border crossing was a disaster taking 5 hours
Smelled very bad and the chairs smelled like sweat
Bus was late due to slowness at border otherwise good trip with great scenery
